An introduction to sixty secret treasures, wonderful objets d'art made by world-renowned jeweler André Chervin (b. 1927), founder of the premiere New York atelier, Carvin French. André Chervin (b. 1927) is a world-renowned jeweler and founder of the premiere New York atelier, Carvin French. Recognized today as masters of fine jewelry-making whose dazzling creations are sold by Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston, Cartier, and Bulgari, Chervin and his firm enjoy a stellar reputation among the clients who wear their sculptural jewelry. Unbeknownst to his many fans, Chervin has also been designing a personal collection of precious objets d'Art over the past several decades. Expressive of his artistic imagination, passion for raw materials and bygone techniques, and fascination with the engineering of clockworks, these secret treasures have never been shown to the public. Until now.


Opulent Imagination: The Objets d'Art of André Chervin and Carvin French Jewelers introduces Chervin's miniature masterpieces--one-of-a-kind lamps, clocks, boxes, personal accessories, and table decorations fashioned from rubies, diamonds, sapphires, amethyst, citrine, and quartz. Never produced commercially, but designed by Chervin and constructed under his watchful eye, each objet evolved over the course of many years during periods when the rare materials and specially-trained artisans were available at the atelier.
