DESS(E)IN DE NATURE

The house Chaumet He has always celebrated nature through his creations.

We would like to point out that for its new exhibition, From Desse(e)in de Nature, the jeweler Chaumet Exceptionally, a selection of his drawing collection and various jewelry creations are presented. Detailed studies of old botanical-style plates, drawings of inspiration and execution, respond to jewels or pieces of jewelry to magnify nature.

Little by little, Chaumet’s nature comes to life in a fabulous jewelry exhibition, between virtuosity and the art of storytelling.

Marc Jeanson brings a fresh perspective to the Chaumet designs. An agricultural engineer and botanist, he has been responsible for the collections of the National Herbarium at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris since 2013, and was, in particular, associate curator of the exhibition Jardins at the Grand Palais in 2017.

«The visitor is invited to encounter nature in all its diversity, in its most intimate interactions (…) The human being, integrated into nature and its purpose, embodies the quintessence of the lifestyle of an era. These are all fundamental elements defining Chaumet’s savoir-faire, at the service of taste, that of a society and its evolutions, and that of its sponsors. Thus, by claiming the continuity between its creations and the immense diversity of life, Chaumet, in Dess(e)in de nature, elevates the latter to the highest level, the very definition of ”the sublime.»”

To say the least, this very poetic exhibition is a beautiful journey through nature and the creations of the Maison Chaumet in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés.
