Fouquet
Inspired by the detail of the candle light appliques in Nicolas Fouquet's private apartment at Vaux le Vicomte, the Chateau he so extravagantly decorated in 1653 whilst being the Minister of Finance for Louis XIV. From the journey to France.
Coral
Precious coral, in a palette of soft oranges and reds, ranges from opaque and waxy to translucent and vitreous. Originating from marine environments, this is one of the most ancient of gems, with its unique concentric structure like a spider's web. Found in Celtic tombs from the Iron Age, one of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures, and thought to be a powerful talisman, it has a rich and fascinating history.
