Attributed to François-Désiré FROMENT-MEURICE (1801-1855)
Silver, silver-gilt, garnet and glass bracelet featuring a central helmet on a green jasper shield. The bracelet is composed of interlacing and volutes with ivy foliage. Unsigned. Very good condition.
Dimensions : 18 cm.
Gross weight: 55.1 g.
Why this attribution? The materials, the weight, the shapes, everything points to a work by the Froment-Meurice workshop. The fact that many jewels from this workshop were not signed at the time means that a typological analogy must be sought. This bracelet features scrolls very similar to jewelry presented by Froment-Meurice at the 1851 London Exhibition. The stones are set in the same way as those on the bird necklace in the Pforzheim Museum or the black-and-white enamelled brooch in London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Last but not least, the shape of the bracelet can be found in several signed examples at auctions across Europe.
