Chinese influence on Cartier creations.
18 NovKing of Jewellers, Jewellers to Kings
Featuring precious antiques on an unprecedented scale, the exhibition,
takes place in the Exhibition Hall of the Meridian Gate of the Palace
Museum in Beijing and assembles the essences of the East and West,
demonstrating the museum’s dedication to world art.
More than 350 items, including archives dating from the founding of
Cartier to its creations from the 1970s, are unveiled. Partly dedicated
to royal jewels, the exhibition is illustrated by historical documents
relating to European royal courts, which earned Cartier, thanks to King
Edward VII of England, its reputation as the “Jeweller of Kings and
King of Jewellers”.
Moreover, some of the items selected highlight the Chinese influence on
Cartier creations: lacquer ware inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ancient
carved and engraved pieces of jade,and divinities and fantastic animals
created by the jeweller’s hand. Such creations bear witness to the bonds
that have united Cartier with the Far East since the beginning of the 20th
century.
The distinctive creativity, style and expertise of the jeweller are
illustrated by a selection of drawings and archive documents, together
with a set of rarely displayed plaster casts from the Cartier archives.
The related experts of Palace Museum have celebrated the cultural and
artistic aspects of Cartier, as well as its contribution to the heritage of
the decorative arts.
