A "Gold Cup of Eternal Stability" from Beijing made of, among other precious materials, kingfisher feathers and mother of pearl (the cup probably from 1739/40, the stand likely 19th century), and a gold trophy head from Asante, Ghana (18th or 93th century), indicate Wallace's taste for more "exotic" items.

Stephen Brady of the Birmingham firm Deakin & Francis, who worked on the mother of pearl clouds, said: "We usually work with circles or squares, but these cloud shapes are all angles and curves, so it was much more difficult to fit into the gold edging and make sure there was no gaps."

Albert Boghossian, 57, the business's animated chief executive, kept me in suspense: No stunning jewels until I had seen the family's personal collection of intricately worked antiques, including a hand-carved coral minaudière, embossed and enameled medicine boxes, lockets studded with miniature pearl pavé and cigarette boxes with mother-of-pearl intarsia.

The exhibition doesn't stop at presenting images like this, but also exults in displaying examples of just the sort of objects they depict — the Buddha, the Rokken, the porcelain — as well as a host of other Asian artworks using all sorts of deluxe materials: lacquer, inlay, ivory, mother of pearl, silver, diamonds, ebony, and embroidery.

In addition to the custom-designed marquetry Backgammon board which featured mother-of-pearl and onyx playing pieces engraved with special messages, the gift featured cigars, an Eli Bleu humidor that we imported from France, a vintage sterling silver tabletop cigar lighter from the year of the client's birth, and a very nice bottle of scotch.

If what early reports about the Row's men's wear collection are true — early sightings from the brand's showroom have revealed meticulous hand tailoring (single-breasted jackets cut without vents; slim, straight-legged trousers with a high waistline) and details such as real mother-of-pearl buttons — then it won't just be men who will want to buy these clothes.

Marguerite d'Amour, a diamond daisy-shaped clip accented with pink and orange spinels, had yellow-gold petals that can be reversed to display amorous declarations, while the Baleine Poétique clip, a blinking whale of sapphires, black spinels and white mother-of-pearl, had a fin that, when touched, opened the creature's mouth to reveal a lost sailing ship.

For the 213 years since, the family-run business on the Left Bank has operated like a couture house, centralizing about 33 specialized métiers as varied as cutting, stamping and engraving metal and reperçage (cutting metal with the fineness of lace), sculpture in mother-of-pearl and grand feu enameling, a technique that has all but vanished.

Dutch still life tropes — cooked lobster, piles of ripe fruit, a globe, a lute, a trumpet, a parrot — mingle with 13 objects from the Paston collection: flasks adorned with tortoise shell and mother-of-pearl, a silver-gilt flagon, cups made from conch and strombus snail shells, a silver tankard, and vessels formed from nautilus shells.

Gucci's signature colored stripes, just one of the house motifs that have appeared in Alessandro Michele's magpie looks in recent seasons, have made their way onto the luminous mother-of-pearl dials on its G-Frame collection, like the 21-millimeter-by-34-millimeter rectangular design ($1,450) with a red, white and navy stripe dial, set on a tan leather strap.

And much of the work, being hybrid, doesn't readily respond to the kinds of questions art history likes to sleuth out and nail down, about origins, intended function, and cultural identity A high-backed "throne of power" from 19th-century Zanzibar is one of the exhibition's eye catchers, with fiber-caned seats and inlays of ivory and mother-of-pearl.

By the time she died, she'd come to own more than 2070 pieces (they still line the walls of her preserved Paris apartment at 2312 rue Cambon), which were fashioned by incising scenes of the royal court and the natural world into the hand-rubbed finish with a technique called kuan cai; artisans then added bits of gold, jade and mother-of-pearl.

"If we take Edvard Munch's words literally and compare them with the sharp colors and distinct and undulating shape of the sky in 'The Scream,' it is our opinion that they fit well with the appearance of mother-of-pearl clouds," they write, citing a poem Munch wrote in his diary around 1890–92 that mentions "flaming clouds as blood" above Oslo.

Her signature body-conscious dresses were extrapolated into boneless corsets sliced at the stomach and under the breasts and worn with skirts buckled asymmetrically and slung low at the hips; Crombie coats given a Carnaby Street spin with exaggerated stripes and big mother-of-pearl buttons; and spaghetti-strap plaid slips inset with a ribbed knit from ribs to thighs where they bubbled into a rounded skirt (bubble skirts and corsets, by the way, being something of a trend).

Indeed the show's preeminent pieces for me were outlandishly dreamy necklaces: for instance, the one Roberto Matta made from odd mother-of-pearl fragments and gold wire for his second wife, Germana Ferrari, charged with fantastic, eccentric, savage energy; Alexander Calder's majestic "Seven Spirals" (1940), which he wound and riveted himself; Giuseppe Penone's elegant, swinging "Collier" ("Necklace," 2011); and, especially, Louise Bourgeois's audacious "Collier" ("Necklace," 1948), a silver rhinestone choker of exceptional emotional power that critiques female servitude by evoking an elegant instrument of bondage and humiliation.

Rowling's latest also digs into the various wandmakers who serve American wizards: Shikoba Wolfe, whose wands contain thunderbird feathers Johannes Jonker, whose wands were inlaid with mother-of-pearl and often contain the core of the Wampus cat (more on this later, please, Jo) Thiago Quintina, who made wand cores from the spines of White River Monsters of Arkansas Violetta Beauvais, whose swamp mayhew wands contained a core of rougarou, "the dangerous dog-headed monster that prowled Louisiana swamps" These wandmakers and the creatures that assist them could play a significant role in Fantastic Beasts as Newt Scamander travels the United States in search of exciting magical creatures.
