The book explores the impact of over 200,000 Huguenot refugees who fled France in the late 17th century, highlighting their formation of international networks. It emphasizes the contributions of first-generation refugees, including skilled artists and craftsmen, who enhanced design standards and workshop practices beyond France. Their legacy continued through apprentices and family members, significantly influencing the luxury trades for generations. Richly illustrated, the book showcases the cultural and artistic exchanges resulting from this diaspora.
