Chaumet Jewelry Book












This GREAT Chaumet (Chaumet maestri orafi dal 1780) jewelry book was obtained from my "Milan" trip in 2002 and it becomes one of my greatest collectibles ever! I discovered it in a bookstore in the square (Duomo di S.Maria Nascente), no second thoughts, I paid for it at US$40 approx. and dragged this weight 2 pounds+ jewelry book all day long. Thus it's so memorable in every sense. It's in Italian and contained precious manuscripts / archives / jewelry sketches of the greatest jeweler of the century.
