La Flore in Paris’s Museum of Decorative Arts
As part of its sponsorship and partnership activities, the Van Cleef & Arpels School is supporting the publication of three books on jewelry found in the Museum of Decorative Arts’ collection. The first, La Flore (Flora), which will be followed by La Faune (Fauna) and La Figure, illustrates the wealth of this collection to be discovered “for real” in museum’s Jewelry rooms.
