About the Exhibition
This exhibition presents precious-metal artworks donated to the Louvre by Michel Lacoste. It is themed around the technical mastery and refinement of precious-metal art produced in France from the 16th to the 18th century. The exhibition includes works by Pierre Mangot and Jean-Élisée Puiforcat, with 17th- and 18th-century pieces predominating. Held in Room 605 of the Louvre's Decorative Arts department, it presents a total of 100 precious-metal works alongside the Louvre's own silver and ceramic pieces. The exhibition is intended to strengthen the Louvre's collection of 17th-century precious-metal work and to share the craft of traditional metalsmiths with the public.
