Marchak

From the historical Russia to nowadays, through Art Deco and 1950s America, the Marchak House, founded in Kiev in 1878, has known successes and obstacles, as the end of its Parisian shop in 1987. Under the impulse of Daniel Marchak, grand-grandson of the founder, and thanks to the talent of Bertrand Dugommier, key designer for Marchak since 1958, the House was reborn in 2003 with a fascinating and refined collection of jewels. This book by Marguerite de Cerval, specialist of 20th-century French jewels, recounts the gripping and tumultuous history of the dynasty of jewellers-goldsmith's Marchak.
