Georges Fouquet
An iconic figure in Art Nouveau jewellery, Georges Fouquet exhibited his work at the World’s Fairs of 1900 in
Paris and 1905 in Liège, where he was awarded a Grand Prix. His boutique on Rue Royale, designed by Alphonse Mucha, has been faithfully recreated at the Carnavalet Museum, whilst many of his jewellery pieces form part of major museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert
Museum and the Petit Palais.
