Vanity case, Cartier Paris, 1924, from
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/22/2024

Explore the influence of Islamic art and design on Cartier luxury objects

This 1924 Cartier vanity case—made of gold, platinum, mother-of-pearl, turquoise, emeralds, pearls, diamonds and enamel—is reproduced from sumptuous new release Cartier: Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design. According to essayist Judith Henon-Raynaud, the inspiration for this deluxe object—meant to store cosmetics or toiletries—has its design roots in an Islamic pattern on a nineteenth-century Iranian wooden and ivory casket pictured in the archives of the legendary Art Deco jewelry designer Charles Jacqueau, who traveled with Jacques Cartier to Persia, and was deeply influenced. Lovers of jewelry and decorative objects, Middle Eastern art and architecture and Islamic design history will be fascinated by the obvious pollination that this volume, published to accompany a recent exhibition at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, makes admiringly clear.
