Cartier: Jewelers Extraordinary by Hans Nadelhoffer (Book)

About the Item

This book traces the history of the famous jewellery firm, and shows examples of its designs for clocks, watches, necklaces, tiaras, swords, pins, and art objects. Here, for the first time, is the authorized story of this legendary firm, told with the help of never-before-published photographs and working sketches. The author, noted jewel expert Hans Nadelhoffer, was given full access to Cartier's extensive archives. These include photographic plates dating back to the early 1900s and recording each creation in actual size. The personal sketchbooks of the Cartier family and of key designers, as well as the actual jewelry design books, many of which were, until recently, considered lost, were also made available. Hardback. Text in English. 312 pages. 1900 grams.
