Its latest exhibition, Art de Vivre, sheds light on a lesser-known patrimonial pillar of the house – lifestyle creations that elevated the daily activities of its clients in times past.
Taking place until Mar 23 at Les Jardins Secrets, the Van Cleef & Arpels boutique at Raffles Hotel, the showcase spotlights a fascinating array of the brand's archival lifestyle offerings.
These include evening bags (made from solid gold, of course), elegant face-powder compacts and discreet lapel watches. Especially intriguing are uncommon objects such as a champagne swizzler, a whisk-like accessory used to stir away some of those pesky, unwanted bubbles in champagne.
