One of Europe's most enigmatic jewelers shines forth in this dazzling book for Assouline. An opulent oversize volume, Codognato Masterpiece unearths the wonders of this world-renowned Venetian boutique. Synonymous with its skull motif, Codognato's memento mori is less a reminder of death than a promise of resurrection. Jewel-encrusted skulls, serpents and antique cameos once adored by Jean Cocteau and Gabrielle Chanel, and worn by Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy are cherished today by figures from Elton John to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Evoking archeological finds, art and antiques from the Byzantine to the Baroque, Codognato's decadent, death-defying jewels are set amid intoxicating images of Venice in this precious publication authored by William Middleton and Laurence Benaïm.
- 304 pages
- Over 250 illustrations
