In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it was fashionable to collect 'curios', objects so named because they aroused 'curiosity'. Imaginatively decorated and made from different materials, some of which are still underappreciated, these exotic objects from China and Japan fascinated Westerners. They stimulated a fad for Asia, captivated art lovers, and had a profound influence on the graphic arts in Europe. This beguiling period kindled a passion for collecting in Alfred Baur (1865-1951) and for creation in Alfred Cartier (1841-1925) and his three sons, Louis (1875-1942), Pierre (1878-1964), and Jacques (1884-1941). While the pieces fashioned in Asian style by the Maison Cartier are generally known, their historical and cultural context is not, thus the idea arose of bringing these fine creations together with the collections of the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art, based in Geneva.
As one leafs through the pages, Asia Imagined slowly becomes apparent, like a treasure hunt. Diamond-studded pagodas and pavilions, busy scholars beneath the starry sky, nacreous moonlight scenes, shimmering phoenixes, jade dragons, and multi-colured cherry blossom-like gems depict an imaginary land. The Cartier magic has its effect. Side-by-side with the creations of the Parisian jeweler, the imperial porcelains, lacquerware embellished with precious metals, embroidered silks, jadIn the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it was fashionable to collect 'curios', objects so named because they aroused 'curiosity'.

在十九世纪和二十世纪，收集“古玩”是一种时尚，这些物品之所以得名，是因为它们引起了人们的“好奇心”。这些来自中国和日本的异域风情的物品，用不同的材料装饰而成，富有想象力，其中一些至今仍未得到人们的重视。他们在亚洲掀起了一股风潮，吸引了艺术爱好者，并对欧洲的平面艺术产生了深远的影响。这段迷人的时期点燃了人们对阿尔弗雷德 · 鲍尔(1865-1951)的收藏热情，对阿尔弗雷德 · 卡地亚(1841-1925)和他的三个儿子路易斯(1875-1942)、皮埃尔(1878-1964)和雅克(1884-1941)的创作热情。尽管卡地亚家族以亚洲风格制作的作品广为人知，但它们的历史和文化背景并不为人所知，因此人们产生了将这些优秀作品与位于日内瓦的远东艺术博物馆鲍尔基金会(Baur Foundation)的藏品结合在一起的想法。当人们翻开书页时，《亚洲想象》慢慢变得明显起来，就像一场寻宝游戏。宝塔亭台，星空下忙碌的读书人，皎洁的月光，闪闪发光的凤凰，玉龙，五彩缤纷的樱花宝石，描绘了一个想象中的国度。卡地亚的魔法有它的效果。除了巴黎珠宝商的作品，皇家瓷器、饰有贵重金属的漆器、刺绣丝绸、玉器、彩釉、挂坠、剑柄和属于鲍尔基金会的印刷品也展示了中国和日本的奇迹，并且安装了一个独特的对话，提供了一个观看世界上最杰出的两个收藏品的绝佳机会。
