 Paris: Meeting of the National Museums, (2017), full cloth binding, 397 pages, 25.5x30cm., loose notebooks (to be tightened)

 Jewels of the Al Thani Collection Delicate jades, spectacular gems, sumptuous ornaments studded with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls, daggers encrusted with jewels, tableware and everyday objects chased with gold, decorated with precious stones and enamels colorful, these are all exceptional pieces presented in this catalog. Through five centuries of history, this art of jewelry, so central to Indian culture, offers our dazzled eyes treasures of ancestral know-how, which combine exuberance, opulence and refinement. We are thus allowed to glimpse what the splendor of the Mughal courts and the splendor of the Maharajahs could have been, while, in subtle plays of inspiration, East and West, tradition and modernity of contemporary creations intertwine.
