Assouline Cartier Panthère Book

Cartier Panthère, published by Assouline and edited by jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, is a volume celebrating the iconic feline symbol of the Cartier maison.

For more than a century, the panther has silently traversed the maison's creative imagination, embodying power, seduction, and independence. It is not just a decorative motif, but a visual emblem associated with extraordinary female figures and the evolution of modern aesthetics. Through contributions from authoritative voices such as art expert Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, historian Joanna Hardy, and the unforgettable fashion editor André Leon Talley, the book chronicles the transformation of the panther into the absolute symbol of luxury. The pages investigate the feline's origins in art, the evolution of the craft techniques that shaped its form in Cartier jewelry, and the impact of this figure in the universe of fashion and design. Lavishly illustrated, the volume traces one hundred years of creations starring the panther, offering a privileged perspective on the relationship between high jewelry and the collective imagination. Cartier Panthère is also a collector's book that serves as a piece of furniture thanks to its linen hardcover and luxurious slipcase: ideal for placing on a coffee table or within a bookcase collection, it enriches the space with elegance and character.

Cartier Panthère contains 300 pages in English, including 150 Illustrations.
