Pierre Augustin Rose is an association of styles, belonging to three singular personalities: Pierre Bénard, Augustin Deleuze and Nina Rose. Today the collection is presented in their gallery located 8, Rue Hérold, next to the prestigious Place des Victoires in the 1st Arrondissement of Paris.
With the current emphasis on timelessness, Pierre Augustin Rose seduces interior designers, as well as some of the most refined individuals all around the world, interested in reinventing, magnifying their homes and offices. It all began roughly 6 years ago, when two antique dealers; Pierre Bénard and Augustin Deleuze, crossed paths.
