For the first time, the Petit Palais is unveiling the breadth and diversity of its collection of jewellery drawings, covering more than a century of design, from the second half of the 19th century to the mid-20th century.

For the first time, the Petit Palais reveals the diversity and breadth of its collection of drawings of jewellery designs, spanning over a century of creation, from the second half of tthe 19th to the mid-20th century. Through a remarkable selection of designs from a collection comprising over 5,500 works, this exhibition showcases the wealth of a collection amassed since the late 1990s and preserved in the museum’s reserves, away from the public spotlight. Featuring drawings by designers like Pierre-Georges Deraisme and Charles Jacqueau, as well as those by prestigious jewellery houses such as Boucheron, Cartier, Rouvenat, and Vever, this exhibition bears witness to the evolution of styles and techniques in the field of jewellery. It is part of an original programme, aimed at highlighting the Petit Palais’ exceptional graphic art collection.
