This exhibition presented at the Museum of Decorative Arts shows the influences of Islamic arts on the production of jewelry and precious objects, from the Maison de Haute Joaillerie Cartier, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. More than 500 pieces from Maison Cartier, masterpieces of Islamic art, are on display to trace the origin of the interest in oriental motifs.
Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the House specializes in the sale of jewelry and works of art. His son Alfred resumed the activity and in 1898 associated with his son Louis, who was passionate about pieces of Islamic art which were very fashionable at the time following major exhibitions at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and also in Munich.
