Each vase by Jean Dunand is the result of extraordinary patience and precision. A master metalworker, he shaped metal with sculptural discipline before beginning, in 1912, his initiation into the art of Japanese lacquer under master Seizo Sugawara. Over time, this demanding technique gave rise to breathtaking pieces enriched with inlays of gold, mother-of-pearl, or finely crushed eggshells, applied one by one. These precious compositions catch the light and embody the perfect union of technical mastery and decorative poetry.

Now on view at the gallery: a rare selection of these iconic works.
