Galerie Brame

Galerie Brame was established by Henri-Clément Brame in the 1860s and was located on the rue Laffitte. During Brame’s early years in the art trade, he frequently participated in joint ventures with the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), and soon become known as a proponent of the Impressionists. During the Franco-Prussian war and the siege of Paris, Brame relocated to Brussels and maintained his relationship with Durand-Ruel, then in London, but their joint endeavors ceased after their return to Paris. Hector Brame was succeeded in his business affairs by his son Hector-Gustave (1866-1936) and his grandson Paul-Louis (1898-1971). The gallery continues today as Brame & Lorenceau.
