A rumour that piqued SoBARNES\u2019 interest: Friday 3 March, Artcurial will be offering 240 lots from Cartier and its boutiques around the world at auction. A rare occasion to acquire a piece of French luxury at special rates, and to benefit a charity! Going once, going twice...sold!<\/h4>\n

PARIS \u2013 It\u2019s the start of a new chapter at Cartier, which is renovating its store interiors around the world and putting some of its old furniture up for auction with Artcurial. The auction will be held in two parts, starting with some sixty iconic lots exhibited in the salons of the H\u00f4tel Dassault (Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es roundabout) before they go on sale on 3\u00a0March. The second part will be will be presented through an online-only sale from 1 to 8 March, entitled \u201cCartier at home\u201d. Encompassing replicas and authentic pieces, this impressive ensemble embodies the \u201cCartier taste\u201d, and more specifically that of Louis Cartier (1875-1942) and jeweller Jeanne Toussaint (1887-1976), his muse and until 1970 Artistic Director at the then family-run brand (*). Their shared fascination for neo-classicism, its simplicity, its clarity and its balance, greatly influenced their creations and their universe, with their ideas of beauty shown not only in Cartier jewellery but in the layout of the brand\u2019s boutiques.<\/p>\n

The pieces of furniture offered in the sale are in perfect condition, combining comfort, elegance and style, as well as a selection of Louis XVI-style pieces:<\/p>\n
