A curated library

The Collection in print

Publications offer a deeper insight into the collection, extending its narrative beyond the exhibition space.
 Through carefully curated volumes, they reveal the richness of the Iakobachvili Collection, its history, and the vision that shapes it.
From the three-volume catalogue dedicated to snuffboxes, a major reference work exploring one of the most remarkable ensembles of its kind, to the publication accompanying the exhibition Monaco and the Napoleon(s), these books reflect a commitment to scholarship, transmission and the art of sharing knowledge.

18th-Century Snuffboxes

This volume explores 18th-century snuffboxes through an innovative approach organised by material rather than origin.
It highlights both the influence of Paris and the distinct styles developed across Europe.

19th-Century Snuffboxes

This second volume, dedicated to 19th-century snuffboxes, highlights the richness of the David and Mikhail Iakobachvili Collection, exploring the diversity of materials, techniques and craftsmanship behind these exceptional objects.

Snuffboxes: Compendium

This third volume, Snuffboxes: Compendium, offers a broader perspective on the David and Mikhail Iakobachvili Collection, exploring specific themes, makers and historical transformations, complemented by newly researched biographies and a valuable study of makers’ marks.

Monaco & les Napoléon(s) Intertwined Destinies

This book, Monaco et les Napoléon(s): Intertwined Destinies, explores the fascinating ties between the Grimaldi and Bonaparte dynasties through nearly 200 exceptional works and historical objects including pieces from the David and Mikhail Iakobachvili Collection.
