Their relationship is grounded in the juncture where their common interests and different perspectives as artist and collector combine. Their shared passion for joyful and cultivated yet offbeat creations is evident in this selection of Le Gall's key creations, most of which were photographed in situ at Mullin's seventeenth-century manor in Saint- Calais, Normandy. These works demonstrate Le Gall's exceptional craftsmanship in his use of noble materials such as bronze, the simultaneously naturalistic and sculptural style of their lines, and their references to art and decorative art history. From the commanding trumeau, created especially for Mullin, to the many decorative guéridon tables, chandeliers, "flower tables," sculptural vases, screens, and other commodes, each one of his creations is at home within the world of the French Classical-style estate.
