Amidst the hallowed halls of the Hôtel Collot, across from the Place de la Concorde, visitors encounter a curated collection spanning horology, jewellery, silver, furniture, and paintings - a testament to the Kugel family’s journey from Minsk to the pinnacle of Parisian art circles.

“Venus of Urbino” by Titian, 1538.

This masterpiece not only captures the beauty of its subject but also sets the compositional standards for the theme of the reclining n**e, a motif that has fascinated artists for centuries. Originating from the pioneering work of Giorgione, Titian’s interpretation has become the definitive template for this genre. The ‘Venus of Urbino’ is particularly renowned for its use of the deep Venetian red, a colour that adds a rich, warm depth to the painting, highlighting Titian’s mastery in colour manipulation. This piece is not merely a depiction of aesthetic beauty but a landmark in art history that continues to influence the portrayal of the human form.

“Day and Night”, by Thorvaldsen, no earlier than 1815.

These two are some of Thorvaldsen’s most popular reliefs. As opposites, they represent the two halves of a day and together symbolise the wholeness of a day. Day personified flies actively across the sky with a fixed gaze on the small torch-bearing boy, symbolising the light and the sun. Night personified drifts serenely across the sky with her eyes closed while the animal of the night, an owl, flies directly towards us.

Bernini’s remarkable sculpture, ‘David’, crafted between 1623-1624, depicts the biblical hero in the midst of battle, embodying the tension and concentration of his fight against Goliath. This Baroque masterpiece, housed in Rome’s Galleria Borghese, is renowned for its dynamic movement and emotional intensity, offering a stark contrast to the more serene Renaissance interpretations of the same subject.

Cartier London Crash, 1967. This emblematic watch appears to have been mangled in a car wreck, whence the name. For the aficionado, it is one of the greatest jeweler-designed wristwatches of all time, and yet Jean-Jacques Cartier was not convinced. Dennis Gardiner, a veteran designer of Cartier London, says: “Mr. Emerson [Gardiner’s colleague and co-designer] was a great designer, and I think there was a little bit of Salvador Dalí in the Crash. Mr. Cartier would not make it at first, but the first one sold immediately and they became a cherished item.”
