Note: Frédéric BOUCHERON, the first jeweler on the Place Vendôme, created this Moorish-inspired coffee pot, which illustrates the vogue for "Turkish-style" decoration that was revived by the colonial exhibitions and the opening of the Suez Canal with great fanfare at the end of Napoleon III's reign.
