Ennery Museum
Chinese and Japanese Art from 17th to 19th century
59, avenue Foch, Subway Porte Dauphine
Decorative Arts of the Far East has a magnificent collection of nearly 7000 objects gathered by Clémence d'Ennery in the last century, presented in its authentical baroque "Napoleon III" architectural context "Hotel". Madame d'Ennery, carried away by a great love for oriental art that was in style at the time, decided to make up a collection of Chinese and Japanese Art, with XVIIIth and XIXth ceramics from Kyoto, so rare now, as well as pieces of Namban Ar.
She also assembled a remarquable collection of over 300 "netsuke», these precious clasps, often sculpted in ivory, were the only jewels allowed to be worn by men "of the 2nd rank”. A great variety of objects, porcelain of the East Indian Companies, dolls and figurines, carvings of semi-precious stones, ivories and bronzes bring us to the daily life and popular beliefs of China and Japan between the 17th and 19th centuries).
In the "friendly" audience were the Goncourt brothers and Prime Minister Georges Clémenceau, who donated the Musée d'Ennery to the State in 1907.
