Dear buyers please be aware that there is a crooked eBay seller from India who goes by the name "florencejewelers", who not only stole my images, but also stole my description, and puts in his lying titles Imperial Russian or Art Nouveau, which are words used to describe jewels from 1910 or prior, which his are not. He does not even have the items shown in my pictures, but attempts to create modern forgeries which are crimes against history and those who own the actual jewels ! Since ownership gives the current jewel owners the right to their design. Just like illegally copying movies for illegal sales. The US will soon be completely out of business. EBay does not protect us from this !
Spectacular French Art Nouveau 18K Gold Clover Field Shamrocks Cufflinks ☘️ ☘️ ☘️ ☘️ Fully hallmarked with several eagle heads indicating the cufflinks are composed of 18K solid gold of French origin, and the art goldsmith makers mark G*D for Germaine Desbazeille Maison G. Desbazeille. Louis Desbazeille became partners with Monsieur Derouen, circa 1872. In 1877 Louis Desbazeille started his own business. He specialised in carved gems, cameos, intaglios and engraved garnets and gentlemens jewellery, such as cufflinks, lockets, swivel seals, rings and stickpins. His son, Germain, joined the firm, in 1881. Louis Desbazeille retired in 1886.
La Maison G. Desbazeille, broadened the range, to include plique-à-jour jewellery with Arabic, Persian and Japanese themes, hair combs, bookmarks and hatpins. Germain used pierced cameos (à jour) in an attempt to boost their popularity. By 1889 cameos and intaglios had become less fashionable. Germain Desbazeille concentrated on marketing medal jewellery accented with applied patinas and enamels. Medal jewels, imitating ancient Greek and Roman medals and coins, was a branch of the Art Nouveau jewellery movement. Master medal engravers and those adept at the use of the tour à réduire were in high demand and received important commissions from the top jewellers. Desbazeille commissioned some of the most excellent examples, including the 'Cleopatra', 'The Four Seasons', 'Women with Flowers' and 'Saint George' medals by Émile-Séraphin Vernier (1852-1927). From 1895 the firm also kept Monsieur Roty occupied with the creation of religious and irreligious medals. Roty was an expert in the use of the tour à réduire - a machine, inspired by a lathe, designed in Russia, in the 1700s, to reduce designs and etch metals.
Germain Desbazeille, whose maker's mark is a G, a star and a D in a lozenge, had premises at 6 rue Monsigny, Paris. The cufflinks weigh approximately 13.6 grams with each one weighing approximately 6.8 grams. The diameter of each clover bunch is approximately 1.5 cm (9.5/16 of an inch). Authentic Art Nouveau cufflinks, not replicas and complete. By complete I intend that they have not been separated to attach different anteriors to created two sets of cufflinks to double the sales as one can observe with so many Art Nouveau cufflinks thus they are intact and in prestine minty condition ! These are the nicest clover cufflinks eVer, to be expected since they are authentic original French Art Nouveau gold work ! Many high quality designs that were in high demand were mold copied, these are not, note the beautiful sharp details. Clovers are considered lucky and associated with the trinity. Do you love clovers as much as I do then perhaps this marvelous beauties were made for you ! A great addition to any museum quality collection or a very noble gift fitting the greatest and dearest of men ! Feel free to check out my other Museum Quality Collection ☘️
