Exhibition catalogue "Golden Ming - Splendours and beauties of Imperial China", presented at Guimet Museum, Paris (from 18 September 2024 to 13 January 2025).
During the Ming era (1368–1644), gold objects pervaded the upper echelons of Chinese society. Paintings and literature provide a striking testimony to the use of gold vessels and jewellery in the everyday life of the imperial court and in the palaces of influential families. Goldsmiths gave free rein to their imaginations, designing items of great refinement that attest to their unparalleled knowhow and technical mastery, reflecting the splendour and aesthetic of abundance of this period.
The exhibition has been organised in partnership with the Xi’an Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts as part of the Franco-Chinese Year of Cultural Tourism and on the occasion of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the French Republic and the People’s Republic of China.
