This lavish two-volume slipcased work is a publishing event for the quality of its design, full-size reproductions, extensive documentation, and illustrated chronology and index. With more than 3,000 pieces dating from the 1860s to the present, the Cartier Collection constitutes the world�s largest collection of its kind. This luxury work traces the history of the collection�s high jewelry holdings and attests to the originality and artistic genius that made Cartier a world-class jeweler. The two-volume set showcases the extraordinary pieces from collectors such as Queen Elizabeth, the Duchess of Windsor, Daisy Fellowes, Barbara Hutton, and Sir Bhupinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala, highlighting Cartier�s mastery of the jeweler�s art through highly original designs, unique colors, and legendary precious stones. More than 600 objects and drawings from Cartier�s vast archives, some previously unseen, are reproduced at actual size and include Cartier�s famous �bestiary� of exotic animals as well as more recent rare brooches, necklaces, and bracelets from the 1960s and 1970s.
