- Louis ROUSSELET, Brooch in glass beads, FRANCE 1940, vintageBy Louis RousseletLocated in SAINT-CLOUD, FRSublime old BROOCH, 40s vintage, by famous French designer LOUIS ROUSSELET and Gripoix glass, length 8cm, width 5.5cm, 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.

Bien que très jeune, son talent artistique et sa forte personnalité le font rapidement remarquer. En 1920, il fonde ses propres ateliers auxquels il donne son nom et dont la spécialité est l’émail d’imitation et la perle de verre nacrée.
