Biographical notes
A collaborator and later the successor of Eugène Printz (1889-1948), Jean Saint-Georges took over the Printz gallery and workshops after Printz’s death. He carried on the master’s exacting standards: noble materials, worked metal and architectural lines, in the spirit of mid-20th-century French luxury.
