RA Collection: People and Organisations
Art gallery situated at 168 Bond Street, London run by the dealer Charles William Deschamps (1848–1908). Deschamps was the nephew and assistant of the art dealer Ernest Gambart. Deschamps moved to London at the siege of Paris in 1870, became Secretary of the Society of French Artists, and exhibited Paul Durand-Ruel’s Impressionist pictures at his gallery in New Bond Street. Although he made a reputation as a dealer in modern art he continued to support some of his uncle’s ‘establishment’ artists such as Lawrence Alma-Tadema RA.
