Silently running through Cartier's iconography for a century, the panther is the proud leader of the flock of precious animals that make up Cartier's famous zoo. No other creature or jewel is so inextricably and emotionally linked to the remarkable women of style of the 20th century, to the ideals of modern femininity, and has become Cartier's most iconic motif for a century. A symbol of power, seduction and triumph since ancient times, the image of the panther never fails to awaken fantasies and dreams.
Featuring texts by art historian Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, jewelry expert Joanna Hardy and fashion editor André Leon Talley, Cartier Panthère chronicles the panther in art history, the evolution of Cartier panther jewelry , the techniques involved in creating a Cartier panther jewelry, the panther's influence on fashion, design, and popular culture, and includes a chronology of 100 years of Cartier panther jewelry.
