Jacques Doucet
Jacques Doucet (1853-1929) was the most celebrated couturier of Belle Époque Paris before assembling one of the most legendary private collections of his era, spanning eighteenth-century French decorative arts to the emerging avant-garde. He sold his period collection to fund his passion for the new, commissioning furniture from Eileen Gray and Pierre Legrain and acquiring Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon directly from the artist’s studio.
The Chardin Rug is named for Jean-Siméon Chardin, the eighteenth-century painter whose still lifes were part of the period collection Jacques Doucet assembled and later sold, in one of the great gestures of art history, to fund his pivot toward Picasso and the avant-garde. Garcé & Dimofski honour that earlier chapter of Doucet’s taste with a hand-tufted rug built from wool, semi-worsted wool and felted wool blended with bamboo.
The layered textures echo the quiet, tactile stillness of Chardin’s paintings, where the humblest objects, a jug, a loaf, a copper pot, are rendered with extraordinary material sensitivity. Underfoot, the rug offers a similar range of soft and firmer textures within a single restrained surface, available in bespoke dimensions, shapes and colours.

Few men have left such an indelible mark on the imaginations of art patrons and aesthetes. Jacques Doucet was the archetype of the modern collector, with a love of culture as vast as his curiosity and flair for the new. As a couturier, he mentored Paul Poiret and Madeleine Vionnet while dressing celebrities and heiresses. As a collector, he amassed the most legendary trove of rarities and masterpieces from the 18th century to the avant-garde, including Picasso, Klee, Matisse, and de Chirico, while commissioning furniture from Eileen Gray and Pierre Legrain, who decorated his last home, the fabled Studio Saint James. Now, his legacy lives on through a furniture collection available exclusively through Invisible Collection.
