Chanel Couture Jewelry Unveils The Coromandel Collection Inspired By Coco's Screens

Whenever she moved her domicile, from the chic 16th Arrondissement to the Ritz Paris (and, later, Switzerland), Gabrielle Chanel took her Coromandel screens with her to “upholster” her home, writes Vogue. “I’m like a snail. I carry my house with me,” she once remarked to Claude Delay, her friend and biographer. Chanel's most beloved pieces, the ones she kept all her life and considered the doors to her private world, were the 17th- and 18th-century Coromandel folding screens she picked up in 1910 with her great love, Boy Capel. Today, these ornate, opulent black lacquer screens adorn the salons of private apartments at 31 Rue Cambon.

On Friday, Gabrielle Chanel's beloved Coromandel screens serve as the inspiration behind the brand's couture jewelry collection to be unveiled on the Place Vendôme in advance of the couture collections.
