Description
Alexis & Lucien FALIZE in PARIS A reversible hinged bracelet comprising twelve elements in gold and polychrome cloisonné enamel, featuring a design on the front of six chimeras alternating with foliage, and on the reverse, Gothic initials ‘G.H.O.N.L.M”, alternating with cartouches adorned with scrolls bearing the following dates: “2 May 1870”, “3 May 1872”, “6 May 1873” and “9 April 1875”, “3 July 1877” and the initials “TD”. Neo-Gothic style Circa 1878 L: 17.8 g Gross weight: 68.8 g In its original leather case marked “H.T” by FALIZE Aîné et fils, 55 Avenue de l’Opéra, Paris. (case shows signs of wear) Provenance: This magnificent bracelet was most likely commissioned in 1877 by the great-grandfather of the current owners from Falize to be given to his wife to celebrate the births of the couple’s five children. Each link bears the initial of a child’s first name, accompanied by a scroll inscribed with their date of birth. Having remained in this family for five generations, this is the first time it has appeared on the art market. Bibliography: Katherine Purcell, *Falize: A Dynasty of Jewellers*, London, Thames & Hudson, 1999. Pages 71 and 258 feature bracelets of a similar shape but with different designs.
