Van Cleef & Arpels, Nuit d’Orient clip.

The collection includes a series of pieces inspired by Poliphilo’sStrife of Love in a Dream. This 15^th century Italian romance exerted a major influence on the world of art and the philosophy of gardens in the 16^th and 17^th centuries. The garden at the Villa de Castello was an exact reproduction of those described in the work. Van Cleef & Arpels has transformed these romantic vistas into exquisite pieces of breathtaking beauty.
