The Valentino: At the Emperor's Table coffee table book offers an intimate look at the legendary couturier's approach to entertaining across his private residences worldwide. Photographed by Italian photographer Oberto Gili, the volume is organized by residence, capturing distinct table settings, curated china collections, and recipes tied to each home. Features range from Portuguese porcelain at the Gstaad ski chalet to rare Meissen swans at the Chateau de Wideville outside Paris, with an introduction by fashion editor André Leon Talley. The book documents Valentino Garavani's personal collection of antique dinner services, including Russian sets, ruby red Irish glass plates, and custom seafaring-themed pieces aboard his yacht T.M. Blue One.
