Excerpt from Catalogue de la Collection Barthélemy Rey: Objets d'Art du Moyen Age Et de la Renaissance
La collection de M. Barthélemy Rey se distingue des nombreux cabinets d'amateurs parisiens par la persistance avec laquelle, depuis bien des années, son possesseur s'est attaché à ne point perdre de vue les principes qui présidaient a sa formation. En un siècle ou la mode tyrannise c'est le mot les collectionneurs, leur dictant des préférences, leur imposant des styles ou des époques, éliminant enfin toute personnalité d'un passe temps qui devrait être personnel entre tous, il n'est pas banal de voir un amateur sortir résolument des sentiers battus, et consacrer uniquement ses loisirs a la satisfaction de ses propres goûts, sans se soucier de ce que recueillent au même moment les vieux millionnaires ou les nouveaux riches.
