The "Paillette" link, developed by Jacques LENFANT for the Atelier Georges LENFANT, is emblematic of the work of this great chain-maker. Working on round, oval, twisted or rectangular links, it was used in numerous variations and combinations, and produced for many Place Vendôme houses such as Cartier, Fred, Mauboussin, Van Cleef & Arpels and Hermès.
