An art of detail that is indispensable to decoration, passementerie has no equal when it comes to enhancing an upholstery fabric, accentuating a contrast, softening a colour or adding a touch of refinement. Since ancient Egyptian times, trimmings have been the most universal form of ornament, but it was in the West that they developed their most varied expressions.
Since it was founded in 1852, Declercq Passementiers has forged close ties with the great names in tapestry and decoration, and has become a global benchmark and the preferred partner for exceptional projects such as the châteaux of Versailles, Fontainebleau and Chantilly, and more recently the Hôtel de la Marine and the Garnier opera house.
This richly illustrated book is devoted to the history and creations of the Declercq family, who have been preserving their manufacturing techniques for one hundred and seventy years, ensuring that the nobility of this artisanal know-how lives on.
