Summary
"The Maison Lacloche was one of Paris' celebrated jewelry houses from the Belle Époque period to the 1960s. Established on the rue de la Paix in 1901, it also had boutiques in Madrid and London, as well as branches in Nice, Biarritz, San Sebastián, Cannes and Deauville. 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. This is the first time that an exhibition has been dedicated to them and coincides with the publication of the first monograph devoted to this remarkable family of jewelers. The book is co-authored by Laurence Mouillefarine, who is also the curator of the exhibition. 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" -- Publisher's description.
