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.
Lapis Lazuli
Originating from Afghanistan, lapis lazuli has been used as an ornamental material in jewels, inlay work and as azure paint for over 6000 years. With a typically resinous and mottled appearance, the metamorphic rock is acclaimed for its intensely vivid and opaque ultramarine blue colour. Unusually for a gemstone it is a rock, not a mineral.
