Animal brooches by Hermès are particularly sought-after at auction. Partridges, ducks, bumblebees, mice, deer and bird feathers were made by the Atelier Georges LENFANT. As our brooch was produced by the Atelier Maurice LABARTE, the links between the Atelier LENFANT and the Atelier LABARTE are worth highlighting.
Between 1960 and 1970, the Atelier Georges LENFANT worked hand in hand with the Atelier Maurice LABARTE, asking it to produce pieces as a subcontractor in order to increase its production capacity.
Maurice LABARTE, an artisan jeweller and chain-maker, made exclusive pieces for the Atelier Georges LENFANT, in particular using the "paillette" mesh process.
Jacques LENFANT and Maurice LABARTE jointly registered a number of patents for manufacturing processes and new jewellery chains (in particular for pressed mesh with an "optical" effect), underlining the dynamism and importance of their partnership.
