CARTIER AND ISLAMIC ART (HB)

Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this lavish book delves into the Cartier archives to trace the story of Louis Cartier’s love of Islamic art and the ways in which he incorporated Islam’s stylized yet abstract motifs into Cartier’s jewellery. Dazzling photographs of Cartier jewellery are accompanied by in-depth texts from a raft of distinguished scholars of both Islam and the decorative arts.
