Over 200 works - drawn from prestigious French and international collections, including some of the most magnificent masterpieces from the Chinese imperial collections - here re-create the epic story of the history and aesthetics of jade.
From the dawn of Chinese civilisation, when it became imbued with its quintessential qualities, to the 1920s, when this stone 'more precious than gold' became the source of inspiration for modernist jewellery and objets d'art, the authoritative essays and superb illustrations contained in these pages lift the veil on the history of this quintessential expression of Chinese culture.

Exhibition at the Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet in Paris, from 19 October 2016 to 16 January 2017 - with exceptional loans of masterpieces from the collections of the National Palace Museum, Taipei
