Toile de Jouy x PILLIVUYT at the Elysée Palace
For over two centuries, Pillivuyt has shaped high-quality French porcelain, engineered for professional resilience while elevating the world’s most prestigious tables.
Retrospective: Pillivuyt at the Elysée Palace, a Summit of "Made in France" Excellence
In late 2024, the Pillivuyt Manufacture experienced one of the most prestigious milestones in its bicentennial history: participating in the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France (The Great Exhibition of French Manufacturing) at the Elysée Palace.
As we move through 2026, this memory remains a vibrant symbol of our vitality and a testament to the French State’s recognition of our exceptional savoir-faire.
Selected from thousands of candidates to represent the Cher department, Pillivuyt presented a piece that fuses two legendary French heritages: the "Les Quatre Parties du Monde" (The Four Parts of the World) collection.
This collaboration with the Musée de la Toile de Jouy captivated visitors at the Presidential Palace through its remarkable aesthetic:
- A Masterpiece from 1790: The original drawing by Jean-Baptiste Huet—a symbol of exploration and discovery—is given new life.
- Bicentennial Porcelain Mastery: Our Mehun-sur-Yèvre porcelain serves as a canvas of absolute purity.
The iconic "Quatre Parties du Monde" pattern (N° 986.13.7) evokes an era where the mysteries of distant lands captivated the world’s greatest adventurers. Two centuries later, Pillivuyt revives this timeless work by transposing it onto a collection of fine porcelain plates.
Through an exclusive partnership with the Musée de la Toile de Jouy, Jean-Baptiste Huet’s motifs are rendered with surgical precision. This alliance celebrates two crown jewels of French heritage: fine textile printing and master porcelain artistry, resulting in a collection that pays homage to national excellence.
This selection for the Great Exhibition at the Elysée Palace was more than the exhibition of a product; it was a tribute to our Master Porcelain Makers. It is the passion and daily rigor of our teams that allow us to meet the exacting standards required by the Presidency of the French Republic.
"This bicentennial adventure continues to be written every day, carried forward by those who love, choose, and champion the brilliance of Pillivuyt…"
