L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts is presenting a radically new research project at the crossroads of archaeology and the history of techniques: the replica of the Celtic Torc of Montans.
The aim of this collaborative adventure in experimental archeology was to achieve an understanding of the skills and techniques of a given period by reproducing the object studied. In this case, it is a Celtic neck collar discovered in 1843 at Montans in the Tarn region and dating back over 2,000 years.
Discover this utterly unique exhibition, created in partnership with the Centre archéologique de Montans and the Musée d’Archéologie nationale, and made possible thanks to the work of Antoine Legouy, Goldsmith master chaser and Meilleur Ouvrier de France and of Grégory Weinstock, Van Cleef & Arpels' Director of High Jewelry Métiers.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition in Paris, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts invites visitors to continue their discovery into history and architecture with visits of listed salons dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, opened to the public for the first time.
A cultural program including panel discussions is also offered as part of the exhibition.
