Beginning in the 1920’s, his great-uncle, Charles Ratton, and his grandfather, Maurice Ratton, were Parisian pioneers of the Tribal Arts. Today, twenty-eight-year old Lucas Ratton perpetuates the family tradition of excellence in his Paris gallery located 33 rue de Seine in the heart of the Saint-Germain des Prés art district. Galerie Lucas Ratton specializes in Tribal African Art focusing on such quality selections as: Tyi Wara (also known as Chi Wara) crest masks or headdresses from the Bambara ethnic group in Mali, classical sculptures and ancestor statuary produced by the Punu and Fang tribes in Gabon, rare magical pieces, feminine images and protective family fetish figures from the Kusu, Luba and Teke tribes in the Congo.
