On September 26th 2003 the Diamond Museum, a Province of Antwerp initiative, opens an exhibition about art deco, undoubtedly one of the most fascinating periods in art history.
For the first time diamond jewellery from the art deco period (1920-1939) deriving from Belgian private collections will go on show alongside top-quality pieces by (among others) Belgian (Wolfers and Massaux) and French jewellery houses (Cartier, Fouquet, Boucheron and Lacloche Frères) that flourished during the same period, international museum collections and, of course, the Diamond Museum's own art deco collection.
Until the end of December 2003, unique contrasting diamond jewels, objets d'art (such as cigarette cases and powder compacts) and also design sketches will plunge the visitor into this remarkable art deco period, which is currently a great focus of attention - not least because of the `Art Deco 1910-1939' exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
