The collection, worth an estimated USD 50 million, comprises over one hundred pieces of exquisite jewellery, including bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings and brooches.

Commenting on the announcement, Mariam Othman, Director the Rashid Centre said today 'we are honoured by this generous offer of Mr. Quideau, which will hopefully provide some of the much-needed funding for our new centre in Al Barsha. This initiative is one that truly demonstrates the spirit of corporate social responsibility which is for non-profit institutions a critical element of their existence and survival. We wish the Corentin Quideau exhibition all success this week in Dubai'.

Our centre will be moving to the new premises at the end of May, although we still have to find the necessary funding for equipment and furniture and the second stage of construction.
