Pavillon des Arts et du Design 2007

HSBC Private Bank France was pleased to assume the role of official sponsor, for the second year running, of the 11^th art exhibition entitled Pavillon des Arts et du Design.

This collectors' event provides a unique opportunity for our bank and its clients to better understand the collections of renowned antique dealers, to appreciate their qualities and to meet on common ground to discuss topics which are dear to our hearts: transferring wealth, risk assessment and predicting change.

Patrick Perrin, co-founder of the Pavillon, reminded us that an antique dealer is not just a simple salesman; he operates first and foremost on the basis of his knowledge of history and techniques and he has a talent for predicting trends which allows him to assess and satisfy the tastes and expectations of his clients.

This is the very approach which drives our private bankers. They have good listening skills and an outward-looking attitude to the world and change which means they are good at handling the issues touching a demanding clientele.

The wide diversity of work on show spanned a period from the 18th century to the current day - seeking a harmonious marriage of the traditional with the contemporary - and was a powerful example of the attitude shared by the world of antique dealers and HSBC Private Bank: unbiased thought and actions.
The Pavillon des Arts et du Design is an exhibition which loyally promotes the values on which HSBC Private Bank builds its future and cooperates with its clients.
