Monograph on a family of three generations of Parisian jewellers. Alphonse founded the firm in 1860 and it was carried on by his son Georges and grandson Jean, who created some of the most famous and much photographed Deco designs.

This catalog was prepared to accompany the exhibition in Paris at the Musee des arts decoratifs in 1983. Marie-Noel de Gary curated the exhibition and along with Evelyne Posseme wrote the catalog essays and entries. Separate chapters on each of the Fouquets: Alphonse Fouquet director Maison Fouquet 1860-1895; Georges Fouquet director Maison Fouquet 1895-1936; and Jean Fouquet active in Maison Fouquet from 1925-1960. Illustrated in color and black & white with photographs and drawings.

Georges Fouquet (1862–1957) was a French jewelry designer best known for his Art Nouveau creations. He was part of a successful jewellery family; his father Alphonse Fouquet designed in a neoclassicist style, and his son Jean Fouquet designed in the Art Deco style.

Career

In Paris, Fouquet joined his father in the family business in 1891. He took over the running of the company in 1895. In 1900, he opened a new jewelry shop at 6 rue Royale in Paris, designed by the illustrator Alphonse Mucha.

In 1900, Fouquet was featured at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. His collaboration with Mucha was prominently showcased, unveiling a highly theatrical line of jewelry characterized by intricate enamel work, natural motifs, and the innovative use of materials like ivory, mother-of-pearl, and gemstones. This collection became an iconic representation of the Art Nouveau style.

Fouquet was a fantasist, and while his creations can be associated with the Lalique school, it is not due to imitation, but rather his imaginative talent. His work is often complex and holds a foremost place in the Art Nouveau movement. Contrary to Lalique but like Henri Vever, Fouquet expressed himself through more synthetic geometric forms.

He also designed jewels for French actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt. His work can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Petit Palais. The interior of Fouquet's shop is preserved at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris. In 1984, a major exhibition of three generations of the Fouquet Jewellers was made by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; the exhibition was then shown at the Rietberg Museum in Zurich.

Absolutely soft leather
Color: Coffee
I ordered the coffee color, absolutely love it.Super soft- I have ordered brands that cost 4xs as much & returned because of stiff leather. The zippers simply glide.I love all the different zipper pockets, I like having a place for everything, my phone fits perfectly in the back side zipper area. The front magnetic for my key fob.Zipper above to get out quick cash.I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted! It's roomy enough inside but not too big where Im going to carry things I dont need. It's nice having 2 straps to trade out- im starting with the guitar strap- like that it is adjustable straps & on swivel hooks.And you can really smell the genuine leather. For my preference I would have liked it to have been 2 to 3 inches shorter height wise as I was looking to replace a few bags I used when flying but this is perfect for an everyday crossbody.This bag looks very well made. Nothing fancy on the inside. Plan on searching for this brand in smaller size and some soft colors for spring & summer.

Definitely would recommend
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This bag had soft leather and looked just like the picture on the product page. There is the main compartment, two zippers and two slip pockets on the inside. I do like the bag, but I don’t usually like slip pockets because a lot of times when you’re just throwing things into the bag items might go into a slip pocket without you realizing it. I didn’t pay attention to this when I bought the bag, but I still really like it. On the back is a large compartment with a zipper. On the front is another large compartment with a zipper and a pocket with a magnetic snap. I bought the brownish color one and it’s really beautiful. I would definitely recommend it. It does come with two straps I am trying out the one they call Boho for now. It is very nice. The other one which I guess is leather also is much thinner.

STURDY, WELL MADE, AND ATTRACTIVE BUT..
Color: Coffee
The title say everything there is to say about this purse. I especially loved the two outside pockets that worked perfectly for my phone, keys etc. making them easily accessible. Unfortunately the inside zipped compartment that many find useful was the bane of my life.. I could not remember whether I had put something inside the zipped pocket or on either side - and if so on which side. Besides which all small things (lipstick, small pill case, etc) fell on their side and were very difficult to see and find in the black interior. I guess I am too used to a purse organizer (light colored) which has stiff pockets in which everything stands up vertically. All it takes is a glance to locate what you need.. I had to, almost regretfully, return this purse but lesson learned - only buy a purse minus middle pocket which leaves no room for an organizer.
