It feels like only yesterday: 1967.
In 1967, Gérard Bourguet, a Parisian by birth, newly arrived from France after military service in the navy and a voyage around the world aboard the Jeanne d’Arc, settled in Québec City. A little later, with a few dollars in his pocket, he opened a Quebec antiques shop in the Old Port, on Rue Saint-Paul.
His son Mathieu no longer remembers when their collaboration began: as a young boy he was already going along with his father to the countryside, to shows, to museum storerooms and to private homes. Across two generations, G & M Bourguet has pursued an uncompromising quest for the rare, the beautiful and the authentic.
