The Sèvres National Museum of Ceramics has about 1000 Iranian artefacts in stock among which a little over 700 have been catalogued and described in the inventories recorded since 1804. This imposing collection bears testimony to the interest of the successive head curators, starting from the founder of the Museum and head of the Sèvres Manufactory, Alexandre Brongniart (1802-1847).
