The Designer
It was in 1875 that Christian Kress founded his own design house, Christian Kress & SONS. He began by creating pieces of jewellery for his uncle, an amateur goldsmith who had set up a small workshop in Paris. Kress had an exceptional talent and was soon designing and making pieces of jewellery for high profile customers such as Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, the queen of Italy and the German Kaiser. One of the most memorable pieces that Christian Kress designed is the Victoria Cross, which was inspired by a design made for Queen Victoria in 1863. Since then, Christian Kress & SONS has continued to design pieces of jewellery for aristocrats and high profile individuals. The designers that Christian Kress collaborates with the most are Marc Boucher, Emile de Néfelcher, Maximilian Le Bihan and Jean-François Cartier. In addition to creating pieces of jewellery, Christian Kress also designs furniture, including sculptural pieces such as coffee tables and chairs. In 2001, the company opened a furniture gallery in Paris that houses a collection of original pieces by Christian Kress. The designer’s work can be seen in many public and private collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
