    “Japonisme: From Falize to Fabergé, The Goldsmith and Japan,” is a not-for-sale exhibition in aid of The Prince’s Trust and runs through May 20. This museum-worthy exhibition displays in intricate and colorful detail how much the opening up in the 19th century of a previously shuttered country influenced everything from hair combs made from humble horn to silver tea pots (their streamlined shapes suggesting 20th-century modernism before its time).

    “It was the revelation of this entirely new decorative vocabulary, the cloisonné technique, the idea that you could show a fragment and capture the essence — it had such an impact because it was a different way of looking at the world,” said the curator Katherine Purcell. Her detective work has brought treasures to light — not least Lalique’s botanical cherry blossom, which had previously been credited to Vever.

    In the same vein, Ms. Purcell discovered the “Boucheron” name in Japanese-style characters on the base of a massive silver and cloisonné enameled table center piece, depicting a young Japanese artist painting a stylized screen.
