Home to one of the most magnificent ensembles of Sèvres porcelain in the world, the Wallace Collection offers a unique opportunity to explore the designs, techniques and patronage behind the flowering of France's premier porcelain manufactory.

Join Felix Zorzo to trace Sèvres's development from its beginnings at Vincennes in the 1740s to its heyday as a royal enterprise before the French Revolution. Learn how technical innovation and artistic collaboration gave rise to some of the most lavish works of decorative art of the 18th century, from the rococo commissions of Madame de Pompadour to the neoclassical grandeur of the courts of Louis XVI and Catherine the Great.
