Serge Roche
French
Serge Roche's lifelong fascination with mirrors and frames ignited in him a profound appreciation for what he described as "art incarnate, simultaneously virtuoso and ethereal." From an early age, he was enraptured by these everyday objects that held an almost mystical allure. Over the years, Roche not only became the preeminent connoisseur of these exquisite pieces but also their steadfast guardian.
Born in 1898 into a family of renowned art dealers and collectors, Roche grew up amid a milieu frequented by legendary painters like Picasso, Renoir, and Pissaro. Yet, it was the opulent charm of European Rococo furnishings and the alluring allure of mirror cabinets from the Baroque era that truly captured his imagination.
Drawing inspiration from the extravagant rococo decors of Europe and the ornate mirror cabinets of a bygone era, Roche embarked on a remarkable journey of artistic creation that spanned three decades. His creations were nothing short of extraordinary, often marrying stucco and mirrored elements to evoke a resplendent Baroque aesthetic.
Roche's artistic prowess and innovative designs found favor among the elite of his time. Renowned figures such as Arturo Lopez, the iconic fashion maven Coco Chanel, the visionary Charles de Beistegui, and the discerning patrons Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles were among those who sought his exceptional talents.
In the annals of mid-20th century design and artistry, Serge Roche stands as a luminary whose passion for mirrors and frames elevated these seemingly mundane objects to the realm of timeless art, leaving an indelible mark on the world of interior design and décor
