L’ODYSSÉE D’UN ROI is a bespoke tribute to the LOUIS XIII mythical journeys through the ages, in a collective act of creation uniting LOUIS XIII with three prestigious French luxury houses: HERMÈS, SAINT-LOUIS and PUIFORCAT.
More than 50 individual artisans have devoted over 1,000 hours per piece to produce the three bespoke masterpieces of L'ODYSSÉE D'UN ROI. Each is unique and will be presented at exclusive events in culture capitals on different continents as part of a yearlong travelling exhibition.
With the support of Sotheby’s, each work of art created for L'ODYSSÉE D'UN ROI will be auctioned with proceeds benefiting THE FILM FOUNDATION, a non- profit organization founded by Martin Scorsese and several other leading filmmakers to preserve and restore classic films, ensuring their survival for future generations.
