Camera Gilles-Faller 'Paris' Studio with Easel, France, circa 1925
About the Item
Study camera with bellows in very good condition, two objectives and mounted on easel on casters for professional use that has crank for the adjustment of the camera in height and in diagonals. Made in wood and gold metal and in its color, it presents the plate of the manufacturer in the front. The professional photography and amateur photography company was founded in 1855 thanks to Besson, who, some time later, partnered with Gilles. Around 1870, this second family continued until, until 1900, "Guilles Fils" was succeeded by "Gilles E.", which was associated with Faller, giving rise to "GillesFaller", which would become in 1924 in Société Anonyme (D'Exploiation) des Anciens Établissements Guilles-Faller. The identification plate on the target of the chamber refers to this last stage, and places the headquarters at 31 Rue de Paris, where they would have already settled around 1900, but without mentioning the number 33 of the same (Which they would buy at the latest in 1926, as this new door appears in L'Industrieur de l'Industrie Photographique of that year). The present easel is very similar to that of figure 2 (page 2) of the 1928 house catalog (Bibliothèque Nationale Française, Paris) which was sold with the model "Chambre Gilles B 30x30" along with a series of
elements. All the models of the house allowed the free combination of shutters and also of objectives: note the two present, in good condition. Seeing the advertising referred to, there is a particularity: in this case the rectangular camera (18X24) needs a specific easel, which could be included in the lot by an extra in francs. Made in walnut finish, that the customer could choose between varnishing or varnishing, you can see the rails that allow the movement of the camera through the wheels on your right and the reinforced canvas bellows."

- Gilles & BoissierBy Rizzoli International PublicationsLocated in New York, NYAuthor Dorothée Boissier and Patrick Gilles, Text by Pierre Léonforte, Foreword by Remo Ruffini The French design duo Gilles & Boissier presents their sumptuously chic interiors and the artistic inspirations behind them. In 2004, Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier—partners both at work and in life—founded their Paris-based interior design studio and furniture line, Gilles & Boissier. The maturity of their style, their simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, and the cinematographic compositions of their interiors allowed the brand to quickly ascend and gain reputation. Front-page designers in the world of interiors, they create projects for private clients and luxury brands all over the world. A unique celebration of their approach to contemporary design, this debut monograph centers on the duo’s love of art, and how this shared passion has inspired their interiors. The designers present the inspirations behind their must renowned projects: the much-lauded Baccarat Hotel in New York is an ode to sensual, maximalist style; a palatial private residence on Italy’s Lake Como emerges as a study of classical beauty; while a traditional French vacation home in Biarritz comes alive amidst lively pieces by Wolfang Tillmans, among others. Part interior design monograph, part art book, this new volume will appeal to anyone with an interest in visual arts and stylish French interiors. About The Author Dorothée Boissier and Patrick Gilles are the founders of their eponymous interior design firm and furniture line. They reside in Paris. Pierre Léonforte is a French journalist.
