Book Talk at The Merode

Relive the story of one of the greatest family business successes in history, with Francesca Cartier Brickell, great-great-great-granddaughter of the company's founder, and best-selling author of 'The Cartiers'

After discovering a trunk of family letters in her grandfather’s cellar, Francesca left her job in the city to research her family’s history, traveling all over the world and discovering long-lost pieces of the puzzle along the way.

This talk – which coincides with the launch of the French edition of Francesca’s book, Les Cartier, will share those discoveries with the audience, as Francesca takes them back in time, into the world of her ancestors in the early 20th century.

Join us for an unique evening with author Francesca Cartier Brickell to hear all about this captivating story. This will be a richly illustrated talk, sharing not only the stories behind the jewel, but images of the jewels and those who wore them as well.
