Musée des Arts décoratifs Exhibition Catalog - French

To coincide with the “Christofle, Une brillante histoire” exhibition, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris has edited a catalog in which 13 thematic essays, divided into four chapters, trace the extraordinary destiny of the Maison Christofle since 1830.

The rich iconography of the exhibition catalog invites us to discover pieces each more remarkable than the last. In doing so, it plunges us into the splendor of great restaurants and palaces like the Ritz, legendary trains, liners and planes like the Orient Express, the Normandie and the Concorde, as well as places of political power, all equipped by Christofle, ambassador, in France and abroad, of the art of living and luxury à la française.

304-page catalog in French version, also available in English version.

Book under the direction of Audrey Gay-Mazuel, with essays by Caroline Radenac, Audrey Gay-Mazuel, Clara Villani, Étienne Tornier, Anne Dion, Virginie Desrante, Astrid Grange, Anaïs Alchus, Marie-Liesse Boquien, Julie Verlaine, Sophie Dumas, Laurence Bartoletti.
