International audienceThis paper gives a biographical and artistic presentation of George Salting, a British art collector who bequeathed the largest part of his collections to various London museums. Although Salting has now sunk into near oblivion, his life and collecting methods may be seen as representative of the tastes and practices of Victorian amateurs, and of their vision of the Orient. Indeed, around him can also be glimpsed the rather closed circles of amateurs and collectors of Oriental art. It is well-known that Salting’s first passion was Chinese porcelain; but this paper argues that through Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, Salting probably became acquainted with “Persian and Arab” pottery—to take up the phrase then in use—which then led him to form an exquisite collection of Islamic ceramics.Cet article propose un parcours biographique et artistique de la carrière du collectionneur George Salting, connu pour ses nombreux legs aux musées britanniques, mais dont l’intérêt pour l’art oriental a fait l’objet de très peu d’études approfondies à ce jour. Salting est pourtant emblématique des pratiques artistiques et marchandes des collectionneurs victoriens, et du regard qu’ils portaient sur l’Orient. Autour de Salting s’esquisse également l’image de la petite société, à la fois unie et fermée, des amateurs d’art oriental. C’est sans doute par l’intermédiaire de la céramique chinoise que Salting se tourna peu à peu vers la poterie islamique, faisant œuvre de pionnier dans la constitution de collections d’objets “arabes et persans”, selon l’expression alors utilisée
