Showcasing our heritage

From Imperial Splendours in the heart of Beijing’s Forbidden City to Chaumet & Nature in Doha and Botanicol – Observing Beauty at the Beaux-Arts in Paris… For several years, our Maison has presented exhibitions around the world that trace our history and highlight the major themes that are important to us.

Preserving history

In recent years, we have preserved more than 42 registers and 540 drawings from our archives, along with 36 pieces from our jewellery collection and 28 from external collections.

Chaumet also restores unique treasures. Among the most famous are Joséphine’s wedding basket or the painting Napoleon, crowned head, by Jacques-Louis David.

An eternal heritage

Chaumet is reviving its historical pieces, such as the famous pair of wings created between 1908 and 1910 for Gertrude Payne Whitney, born Vanderbilt. Made of platinum, diamonds and blue enamel, they can be worn as both a tiara and a brooch, thanks to ingenious mechanisms. The original structures, which had become rigid over time, have been restored by our craftsmen so that they regain their modular system.

Central Saint Martins and M7

We are expanding partnerships and competitions with leading schools and institutions that train the creatives of tomorrow. These include Central Saint Martins in London, the Penninghen school and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and M7 in Qatar, which gives students the opportunity to design a Chaumet tiara.

Le Petit
Mob’

Since 2023, we have been a patron of Le Petit Mob’, an initiative of the Mobilier National, the French State’s furniture repository, which ensures the conservation and restoration of this unique collection. This project, aimed at schoolchildren between the ages of 6 and 15, aims to promote exceptional craftsmanship through an immersive experience in studios and workshops.
