Platinum by Cartier: Triumphs of the Jewellers' Art

A focused study of Cartier's platinum work — the metal that transformed the house's jewellery output from the turn of the twentieth century. Cologni had direct access to Cartier's records in his role as a senior executive of the company; Nussbaum brought the specialist perspective he had developed working on the Lindemann Collection catalogue.

内容の概要

The adoption of platinum at Cartier from around 1900, its technical requirements, and the way it enabled the delicate millegrain settings and invisible mounts that defined the Garland Style and the subsequent Art Deco period. Individual pieces from the Cartier Collection are reproduced with detailed commentary.
