According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "although these screens were probably made in northern or central China during the Kangxi period (1661–1722) of the Qing dynasty, they received their name from India’s Coromandel coast, where they were transshipped to Europe in the late 17th and early 18th centuries by merchants of the English and French East India companies."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Coco Chanel was famous for owning over 32 Coromandel screens that decorated her 31 rue Cambon apartment in Paris.  In some areas she applied them to the walls like wallpaper. "I've loved Chinese screens since I was eighteen years old... I nearly fainted with joy when, entering a Chinese shop I saw a Coromandel for the first time. Screens were the first thing I bought," she said. Even today, many interior designers and home owners carry on her appreciation of Coromandel screens in their own interiors.  They work in any room but I especially love them hung or displayed behind a sofa.  Enjoy! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The book and film allege that the two had an affair although it's not really known if they actually did or not but fiction is sometimes more fun than reality. The film crew was allowed access to 31 rue Cambon, Coco Chanel's inner sanctum which lends to the chicness of the story. It will be interesting to see if Anna Mouglalis, in this film, or Audrey Tatou in <em>Coco Avant Chanel</em> is the better Coco. I look forward to the film's release June 11th to find out!<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480489281003989186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTfitSR_w3YqJ0DryjwkMYPogUODDcAllLPOGK7T7MqEc3F_Q7AHLcqkNq1TVSG48BFBxA0xqIs13hyWVmmDRGpWOkssOxK2oGiL7nsnkByNmuU3ohitU9q3NPQ-uXb1MKoNEiCQgfdsy8/s400/coco+and+igor+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 235px; CURSOR: hand" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480489090142599602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qIxHz4fg44qHlcYxvQsy1szG3pBTfNGLYv5LErPE9Q0Mk16mA-pimzbzjGUAtZECBMWjvpAqNU8RAZbI03hOtG8qr2ZZzlEvFGk0WiDQVVrgSU26zGL4LRQbUmtMuWyY7iFw4swrPX8J/s400/coco+and+igor+3.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480488890039848466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaDF7kpebYnJ7L4PnlCfSpH31lNz_6RTbKRqjrZIpwqzkW1DWlOzf4imChlrnADt-ZlKPLb9DcaRKsPY8jvzOPWra32mnvnDpsakrSi6EOhSOOCQ7mgL5PJ1Rc0BKa1BxDy4nrNo6riQZ6/s400/coco+and+igor+1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" />
