# *La donation Michel Lacoste au musée du Louvre. Orfèvrerie française de Mangot à Puiforcat*

Group exhibition · Jun 26, 2026 – Jan 11, 2027 · on view · Decorative Arts, room 605

Claude II Ballin, François-Thomas Germain, Nicolas Delaunay and others

One hundred pieces of French silver, mostly from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a recent gift from the collector Michel Lacoste.

Given to the Louvre in November 2025, the hundred works are about a quarter of the collection Lacoste has built since the 2000s: one from the sixteenth century, 22 from the seventeenth, 76 from the eighteenth and one from the twentieth.

They are shown together in room 605 beside the museum’s own silver and ceramics, bringing in goldsmiths new to the Louvre, such as Jean-Baptiste Chéret and Pierre-François Bonnestrenne, alongside masters like Claude II Ballin and François-Thomas Germain. Curated by Anne Foray-Carlier.
