The founder
Raphaël Zoï
A third-generation antique dealer, Raphaël Zoï grew up surrounded by antiques and works of art, within a family where a discerning eye is passed down from father to son. His grandfather, a general antiquarian, made antique fireplaces his specialty. His father began his career at the Puces de Saint-Ouen, before joining the Louvre des Antiquaires, and later establishing himself on Avenue Matignon, in Paris, under the name Tobogan Antiques.
After five years working alongside his father, Raphaël founded GCR Art & Interiors in 2023, then opened his gallery at Marché Serpette, in the heart of the Puces de Saint-Ouen, in early 2025. For him, an acquisition is never merely a transaction, but an encounter with an object. Guided by instinctive passion and his profound knowledge of the decorative arts, he brings together furniture, objets d'art, and lighting from the 19th and 20th centuries, with a predilection for the second half of the 19th century. He is dedicated to discovering rare pieces whose quality and character deserve to be fully revealed, entrusting them to collectors, architects, and interior designers who will bring them to life.
“Every acquisition begins with an instinctive passion, enlightened by knowledge of the object.”
Our Selection
The gallery brings together antique chandeliers and wall sconces in gilt bronze and crystal, fine bronzes, clocks, period furniture, and 19th-century objets d'art, crystal from Baccarat and Saint-Louis, as well as 20th-century design pieces, from Italian creators to the great French masters. Each piece is meticulously described, photographed, and documented in our online catalogue.

Restoration and Care
Prior to entering the gallery, each piece is thoroughly examined and restored if necessary, in strict keeping with traditional techniques, materials, and patinas.
Bronzes & Gilding
Clocks, candelabra, andirons, and furniture bronzes: each bronze is cleaned according to its condition, without stripping, to restore the definition of the chasing. Selective touch-ups to the gilding may be carried out depending on the piece, consistently preserving the original finishes and patina.
Lighting
Restoration of antique chandeliers, sconces, and lamps: each fixture is dismantled and cleaned piece by piece to reveal the brilliance of gilt bronze and crystal. It is then fully rewired to current standards to safely illuminate today’s interiors, both in France and abroad.
Cabinetmaking
Restoration of antique furniture in accordance with traditional techniques: cleaning, French polish revival, regluing, and the restoration of veneers, marquetry, and mouldings. These interventions are entrusted to specialized cabinetmakers in order to preserve the patina, the wood, and the distinct character of each piece.
Marbles
Commode, console, or guéridon tops, chimneypieces, plinths, and sculptures: marbles are cleaned with products tailored to each stone, without altering their polish. Chips and breaks can be restored to reinstate the harmony of the whole, while preserving the antique character of the piece.
