Nicolas Landau (1887-1979),
a renowned antique dealer, liked to describe himself as a "specialist in unsaleable goods". L
The unsaleable object is, according to him, "the object affected by a temporary disaffection, but which one assumes, by prescience, that it will be coveted".
He brought vanities, trompe l'oeil and cabinets of curiosities back into fashion. He loved objects of all kinds, bringing together forms, origins and periods. His peers called him "Princes Antiquaries".
