Le fonds s’accroît considérablement sous les directions de Jean-Baptiste Noulet et Eugène Trutat qui mènent une politique d’achat très soutenue de 1872 à 1900, notamment par l’intermédiaire des frères Alexis Savès et Théophile Savès, marchands toulousains.

This seems to be "the" reference about him :

Astre G. 1962. Théophile et Alexis Savès, négociants toulousains en Nouvelle-Calédonie et collecteurs d’objets d’histoire naturelle et d’ethnographie à la fin du XIXe siècle. Journal de la Société des Océanistes, 18: 108-112.

I only find this online, unfortunately, in snippet view in Google Books. (Persée has scans of quite a few issues of this journal, but not this one.)
