"Accessoire: A Glimpse into History and Art" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the world of "accessoire, " where every object tells a story. From the regal portrait of Queen Elisabeth I, adorned in her magnificent coronation robe, to the delicate strokes of a young schoolgirl painting by Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin, these glimpses into the past captivate our imagination.

Harvesters toiling under the sun's golden rays while wine flows freely; a bustling city street with carriages passing by as a vulture soars above; pharmacists tending to their potions alongside majestic pelicans and vibrant butterflies – each image transports us to another era. As we delve further into history's embrace, we encounter Abel Faivre's poignant cartoon during World War I. A hairy figure reads a poster on war loans – a stark reminder of sacrifice and patriotism etched upon his face. Meanwhile, an illustrated map of Paris from circa 1930 invites us to wander its charming streets and explore its hidden corners.

The grand necklace and cross of the Order of St Michel showcased in Ferrario's "Le costume ancien et moderne" takes us back to Milan in 1819-20 when elegance reigned supreme.

In this vast tapestry woven together by objects both mundane and extraordinary lies the essence of "accessoire.
