Having been decorated with the \u00ab\u00a0Croix de la valeur militaire\u00a0\u00bb, he continued his studies at \u00ab\u00a0l\u2019\u00c9cole du Louvre\u00a0\u00bb where, between 1960 and 1964, he followed Jean David-Weill\u2019s courses in Islamic Art. He then went to work with his father Joseph Soustiel, a well-known antiques dealer who had been working from 146 boulevard Haussmann in Paris since 1935.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style1\" lang=\"en-GB\" xml:lang=\"en-GB\" align=\"justify\">Jean Soustiel inherited from his autodidact ancestors a flair for objects, ceramics, weapons, fabrics, embroideries &#8230; A delightful storyteller, he knew how to bring to life these \u00ab\u00a0objets d&#8217;art\u00a0\u00bb from the East, revealing particular aspects of their history, their original meaning and their beauty. A patron of the arts, he was a generous donator to the Islamic Collections of the Louvre and to the \u00abmus\u00e9e national de la c\u00e9ramique\u00a0\u00bb in S\u00e8vres. In 1982, his generosity to the national museums meant that he was made a Knight of \u00ab arts et lettres\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style1\" align=\"justify\">An undisputed specialist in Islamic Art and an internationally recognised expert, Jean Soustiel was also an admirer of other expressions of art. At the beginning of his career, he took an interest in Art Nouveau. From 1965 onwards, he was passionate about the life and work of the sculptor Jean Carri\u00e8s (1855-1894), donating this artist\u2019s papers to the \u00ab\u00a0Archives d\u00e9partementales\u00a0\u00bb of Ni\u00e8vre in Nevers and a certain number of his works to the town of Saint-Amand in Puisaye. From 1973 to 1993, he actively contributed to the organisation of numerous exhibitions in his gallery on boulevard Haussmann, showing the arts of Islam, oriental miniatures from India, or orientalist painting (organising the first private exhibition on this theme in 1975). The quality of his exhibitions, as well as the works proposed for sale, created world events \u2014souvenirs from the Imperial Ottoman family, clothes from the harem of the last emir of Boukhara. Drafting catalogue entries with the best specialists, he created reference texts. Author of a brilliant synthesis on <em>La C\u00e9ramique islamique<\/em> (Fribourg, Office du Livre, 1985), he assembled during the course of five journeys through Asia, between 1991 and 1998, all the material for a book on the ceramics of Samarkand. But he fell ill and died in Paris on the 12th August 1999. The fruit of his research appeared posthumously, thanks to his former pupil and friend Yves Porter under the title <em>Tombeaux de Paradis, la c\u00e9ramique architecturale d&#8217;Asie centrale<\/em> (Saint-R\u00e9my-en-l&#8217;Eau, \u00e9d.
