Louis ROUSSELET, Brooch in glass beads, FRANCE 1940, vintage

Magnificent old BROOCH, 60s vintage, by famous light craftsman JACQUES GAUTIER, signed, sold with its box, dimensions 4.8 x 4.8 cm, weight 45 g, very good condition, can be cleaned (on request) to regain its shine. For more than fifty years, this multi-talented artist has mainly dedicated the expression of his art to the beauty of women. Acclaimed in 1955 for his black and white geometries created for Christian Dior or Nina Ricci, he is presented as a Dali avant-garde. In 1966, he translated the Optical Art movement into jewelry. The theme of the square in hammered silver metal encrusted with another square of enamel represents one of the signatures of his style. The “Charme” translucent enamel oval bead necklace, created for Christian Dior, the “Capucine”, “Vénus”, “Marguerite” and “Violetta” models, and the dog collars with tassels, are among its emblematic models.

Magnificent old BROOCH in brass and glass beads, vintage 30s, creation of Madeleine Rivière made by the workshop of famous parurier Louis ROUSSELET, length 7.5cm, width 4cm, very fine quality, sewing, glass art, good condition. A child of Ménilmontant and the popular suburbs of Paris, Louis Rousselet was born in 1892 and shared his first class benches with Maurice Chevalier, before becoming an apprentice in a pearl factory at the age of 12. Although very young, his artistic talent and strong personality made him quickly noticed. In 1920, he founded his own workshops to which he gave his name and whose specialty was imitation enamel and pearl glass beads. Coco Chanel, who then wanted to promote costume jewellery, became one of the house's first clients. Then Dior, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Balmain… For more than 60 years, all the great couturiers came to get their supplies from Rousselet, who imagined for them adornments implementing a unique know-how. The workshops employed up to 800 people. Many music hall and cinema personalities appear in the press covered with Rousselet pearls, such as Ginger Rogers during a stocking organized by Jacques Fath. Mistinguett is the face of the house and regularly strikes a pose in the workshops, surrounded by the workers and the parurier. Between 1920 and until the mid-1960s Louis Rousselet would be one of the most important Parisian fashion designers.

OLD BROOCH early 19th century, antique brooch, in Georgian French enamel and vermeil silver. Brooch is decorated with an enamel motif typical of the town of Bourg-en-Bresse, in the region of Burgundy, France. French jewel from the Restoration period in France, Georgian period, between 1819 and 1838. dimensions: width 5 cm, height 4.5 cm, weight 14 g, good condition for its age, but I think the clasp needle is not original (hence the price, which is always negotiable). Bressan enamels are traditional jewels exclusively made in Bourg-en-Bresse in the department of Ain, they are made of enamel, fine particles of gold, all set on a mount. The Bressan tradition dates the origin of this technique back to the 14th century from 1397 when an enameller from the city, Master Guillaume, was entrusted with the sword of Amédée VIII of Savoy to decorate the pommel and the scabbard. This regional jewel, intimately linked to the traditional Bressan costume, reached its peak in the years 1800 to 1900, both in their creation and in their distribution. In the middle of the 19th century, the Bressan goldsmiths Amédée Bonnet and Amédée Fornet gave new impetus to these regional creations. In their workshops in Bourg-en-Bresse, they initiated a new genre, incorporating enamel plates, gold sequins, enamel beads and filigree arabesques into colored backgrounds.
