Tiaras of Dreams, Dreaming of Tiaras TEXTS BY MICHÈLE GAZIER ILLUSTRATIONS BY KRISTJANA S. WILLIAMS

with

The luxury French jeweler Chaumet celebrates the beauty of tiaras with an exceptionally creative pop-up book featuring ten fairytales in mesmerizing dioramas. Tiaras are symbols of power and sophistication that Chaumet has mastered throughout 240 years of history—crowning the beauty of prestigious clients, from Napoleon’s wife, Empress Joséphine, to contemporary icons. Celebrating their most emblematic examples, this exceptional piece of bookmaking features colorful illustrations and short stories. The ten tableaux, each highlighting one iconic Chaumet piece, invite readers to travel through space and time: strolling in the Malmaison garden with Napoleon and Joséphine; partying during the Roaring Twenties; wandering under the shade of Japanese cherry blossom trees; or dancing on a rooftop in contemporary Shanghai. Timeless and universal, the stories will appeal to a wide audience while intricate details of the laser-cut dioramas captivate the eye. An invitation to daydream, these scenes reflect an enchanting tale that readers can discover in one sitting or indulge in separately, according to their mood. Michèle Gazier was a literary critic before she began DANS LE

NAPOLÉON E T JOSÉPHINE Je fais, depuis dix jours, ce rêve étrange et pénétrant qui n'est, à chaque fois, ni tout à fait le même ni tout à fait un autre. Inattendu comme un mirage dans ma nuit de diamants, le premier rêve fut le plus troublant. Dans un éclair je te vis, Diadème, épis de lumière pure, posé sur le front de la plus belle des femmes, Joséphine l'aimée, la désirée, épouse de l'Empereur Napoléon. Dans l'écrin de nature de la Malmaison où se tient le couple impérial, tout est richesse et foisonnement. Tout, du temple antique de l'amour aux feuillages enlacés, est frappé du sceau de Cérés déesse de la terre, des moissons et de la fertilité. L'azur, la pourpre et l'or s'y trouvent réunis sous un ciel pâle enguirlandé de nuages. Richesse de fleurs capiteuses, blés jaillissants, gousses de perles, papillons de dentelles et abeilles si chères à l'Empereur. L'opulence et la splendeur de l'Empire sont à leur zénith. Les cygnes couronnés d'or se murmurent les mots d'amour que Napoléon et Joséphine gardent pour leur intimité. Sur l'horloge arrêté du temps, l'heure est à la gloire et à la beauté.
