For the first time, L’ÉCOLE - School of Jewelry Artsan, realized an exhibition and a book pay tribute to "Lacloche", an iconic European jewelry house from 1892 to 1967.

The Maison Lacloche was one of Paris’ most celebrated jewelry houses from the Belle Époque period to the 1960s. Lacloche Frères, and later Jacques Lacloche, created jewelry for royalty: Queen Victoria of Spain, Edward VII of England, the kings of Greece and Siam, as well as for aristocratic figures such as the Duchess of Westminster, and even Hollywood stars like Grace Kelly.

Through jewelry, clocks (both large and small), and vanity cases—the Lacloche specialty—as well as archival documents, the retrospective will illustrate various trends, including the naturalism of Art Nouveau, Egyptomania and the penchant for the Far East during the Roaring Twenties, the modernism of Art Deco, and the charmingly seductive creations of the 1950s.

Curator: Laurence Mouillefarine
