Secret BookLUXEMBOURG GARDEN CHAIR

Created in 1612 at the request of Marie de Medici, the Luxembourg Garden is a favorite springtime destination for lovers in Paris. Marin Montagut captures it through one of its most iconic features: its emblematic green chair, the “LUXEMBOURG CHAIR.” The watercolor illustration is presented here in the form of a Book of Secrets.

Used in France since the 18th century, secret books allowed us to hide our little treasures. The pages of the books were cut out to conceal jewelry, precious stones, love letters, and other small, intimate treasures.

Inspired by this tradition, the “Secret Books” collection, created from papier-mâché, is entirely handcrafted, painted, and numbered in Marin Montagut's workshops in Paris. The interior is lined with hand-printed marbled bookbinding paper from France and contains a ribbon with a metal key-shaped charm at its end.

To hide your jewelry or other precious items...or to give a surprise gift to a loved one.

Please note that a manufacturing time of 1 to 2 days is required in addition to the 2 to 3 days preparation time for shipping. Therefore, the shipping time may vary between 3 and 5 business days.
