Cartier Art Deco: A Beautiful Adornment

A little piece of beauty for the weekend. It’s started off as a very wet one over here so thought we could do with some of that Indian-sunshine inspiration that Jacques Cartier brought back from his trips to the East. Wonderful mix of bold colours and Persian motifs here - and such attention to detail all the way through from the designs to the end product. Multiple craftsmen would have taken such care to ensure every part was absolutely perfect- ‘it took as long as it took’ one of them told me once, ‘you couldn’t rush work like that.’

An adornment, yes (am envisaging this being the cherry on the cake of a very stylish 1930s outfit) but also a small work of art that still has the power to lift the spirits. At least I think so, what about you?
