Versailles Limited Edition
S.T. Dupont pays tribute to the craftsmanship illustrated at the Chateau de
Versailles, saluting the masterpieces created not only by famous painters but also by the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who worked behind the scenes.
Drawing inspiration from the sun, a theme that is omnipresent at Versailles and royal emblems like the fleur-de-lis, S.T. Dupont has created the Versailles
limited edition as an expression of the French art of living.
White lacquer, decorated with motifs in fine gold, recalls the tranquil atmosphere of
the chateau's salons, its baroque-style furniture, and its richly decorated ceilings. This contrasts with the lattice motif, a decorative theme which
appears throughout the range, inspired by the rectangular shapes of the Versailles French-style gardens.

limited edition are numbered out of 1686, the date when the hall of Mirrors, which Louis XIV commissioned Le Brun to decorate, was opened.
