"The Cognacq-Jay Museum houses the collection of 18th-century art amassed by Ernest Cognacq, founder of La Samaritaine department stores, and his wife Marie-Louise Jaÿ. Upon his death in 1928, Ernest Cognacq bequeathed these artworks to the City of Paris. The museum contains an exceptional collection of fine art and decorative items, about 1200 items in total, with an emphasis on 18th century France, ranging from European and Chinese ceramics, jewels, and snuffboxes, to paintings by Louis-Léopold Boilly, François Boucher, Canaletto, sculptures by Jean-Antoine Houdon, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne and fine furniture attributed to Jean-François Oeben and Roger Vandercruse Lacroix.
