About Galerie Sommerlath
Galerie Sommerlath is an art and antiques shop specializing in American and European 20th Century design at Pasadena Antiques & Design. Before beginning her career in Paris, French-born owner Michele Sommerlath was raised in Morocco, an early life experience that informed her superb taste for design and color. After three decades, her passion for design is still evident. She specializes more and more in paintings after years of selling mid-century furniture unique pieces.
