Jean-Charles Moreux (1889-1956) was a French architect who was interested in many fields throughout his career, including painting and astronomy. During his studies at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, he met André Lurçat, also an architect, who influenced him in the creation of purist-inspired houses. As an architect for private clients, such as the Véra brothers, whose villa he refurbished in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, or Jacques Doucet and Robert de Rotschild, he also carried out public commissions, such as the refurbishment of the painting galleries in the Louvre Museum and, in particular, the Médicis Gallery.
Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, Ramsay House specialized in furniture and decoration and achieved its greatest fame in the 1950s thanks to its work with glass and gilded metal as well as with marble and stone in pieces of neoclassical inspiration
