The collector Jean Charpentier succeeded this family and, little by little, the public was allowed to visit the collections in a gallery set up in the main courtyard.
After the dissolution of the Galeries Georges Petit company in 1933, prestige auctions took place “in the Hôtel de Jean Charpentier”.
According to Myriam Chimènes and Yannick Simon,[2] it was in 1941 that "Raymond Nasenta" owned this gallery, in which the first five concerts of the Pléiade were held, from February to June 1943.
At the end of the 1980s, the rooms on rue du Faubourg were rented to Pierre Cardin, who set up a restaurant there.
Established in Paris since 1967, the auction house Sotheby's chose this building in 1988 to set up its Parisian offices.
