This beautiful object was originally an exhibition catalogue. Edited by Niklès van Osselt, specialist in Chinese studies, it focuses on the oriental influences in Cartier works, describing the deep impact Chinese and Japanese cultures had on the brand’s designs.

Organised like a mirror, the layout of this book is fascinating. On the one side, original Chinese and Japanese objects are presented, and on the other, Cartier’s interpretation of the same objects, highlighting just how strong this influence was!
