This engraving depicts the dramatic escape of four French ships from their fleet's crushing defeat at the Battle of the Nile, and the accompanying text recounts the fortunate circumstances which allowed the French escape. The four ships from the French fleet still flying colours cut their cables and slipped out to sea, and, although HMS Zealous pursued, she was called back, as no other British ships were capable of supporting her pursuit.The British victory at the Nile restored her naval supremacy in the Mediterranean for the remainder of the Napoleonic wars, and reduced the French navy enormously, in terms both of morale and materiel. Language: English.

Chosen for today, grounded in history.

A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
