La Biennale Paris is back at home under the dome ceiling of the Grand Palais in Paris for its 29the edition in September. This cultural highlight of fall in Paris brings together antiques professionals from all over the world. Starting this year, the Biennale has restructured as the fair evolves into an annual event, but still retains its historically prestigious title “Biennale des Antiquaires.”
This year, Licorne Unique is honored to attend the VIP preview. We were fortunate to interview Mr. Mathias Ary Jan at the to introduce some key developments and highlights of this year’s antiques fair.

At the age of forty-five, he is the youngest-ever president; Ary Jan’s international appeal leads to set up a new structure and standards for the SNA, which he claims “will make the Biennale the most rigorously vetted Salon in the world.”
Presenting the art fair in a most exquisite settings, the committee decorates the event space with flourishing flowers and plants. The entrance displayed a remarkable piece of Japanese Samurai Armor, which is from part of the collection of the Geneva’s family-owned Barier-Muller Museum.
La Biennale Paris attracts visitors not only with museum-quality arts but also for its palatial displays and imperial swagger. The Gala dinner on Saturday, presents fine dining with wine paring. Many of my friends believe that the Paris Antiques Biennale is more than just an exhibition; it carries the unique character of Paris, a dazzling city with wonders and amazements.
Even more exciting things are definitely at the Biennale. Each Maison presented its most precious and rare-finding antique collection — each exceptional piece hand-picked by professional art dealer. These masterworks of art attract people to long before the stunning creation and appreciating their charm.
