Georges Joseph Demotte was a Belgian antique dealer and collector based in Paris. His shop was located at 27 Rue de Berri (Marès, 2000). The success of his sales led him to open another shop in New York. He was involved in a forgery scandal with Joseph Duveen. After his death in 1923 his son, Lucien Demotte, took over the business (Vivet-Peclet, 2013).
