Splendor restored at 12 Vendôme
Chaumet reopened its recently refurbished, historic hôtel particulier in central Paris to celebrate 240 years of youth and modernity, refreshed year after year with the creation of remarkable jewels. Even before it became known as Chaumet, the Maison was the first jeweler on Place Vendôme, where it opened a store at No. 15, now the Ritz Paris, in 1812. In 1907, Joseph Chaumet moved his Maison to No. 12, where he could house the boutique, the workshop and a pho-
tography lab to record each creation. This historic address is still the Maison s beating heart, and is now used to welcome customers, preserve and promote culture, and foster creativity. The building has been restored to all its former grandeur and glory by interior designer Patricia Grosdemange. Within the walls of 12 Vendôme, past and present now combine to offer visitors a uniquely warm, welcoming experience.
