Mr. Aaron, a pillar of the world of French antiques dealers, was one of the last of the specialist dealers of so-called fff, for fine French furniture, who went into business right after World War II. He set up branches in New York, Los Angeles and London — unheard of in the 1980s — and is perhaps the first antiques dealer to ask a decorator to work under the same roof, which proved a lasting benefit to both professionals.Born in Paris in April 27, 1923, the son of Raoul Aaron, a banker, and his wife, Jeanne, Mr. Aaron grew up amid his mother’s artistic friends, including the painter Marie Laurencin and the Paris decorator and designer Jean-Michel Frank. He studied law and the history of art and letters at the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly in Paris, but at 18, during World War II, he joined the French Resistance in Vercors, in southern France.He worked as a liaison agent for the French Free Forces, later gathering information for the United States Army in southern France in 1944.
