Lacloche
Beauty kit. Enamel, diamonds and 18K (750) gold. Circa 1925. Signed Lacloche Frères Paris and numbered. Hallmark of Master Strauss Allard Meyer. Size: 8.4 x 4.6 x 1.1 cm approx. - Weight: 164 gr
"It is a long time that Lacloche distinguished himself in this art (...) to show which sharp sense of refinement he brought to this accessory, one of the most personal that a woman can have " will write Vogue following the World Fair of 1925. From the Belle Époque to the 1960s, Maison Lacloche was one of the glories of Parisian jewelry and made the beauty case - also known as a vanity case - its specialty. A true ode to the modern woman, the beauty case quickly became the must-have accessory for the emancipated coquettes of the post-war Roaring Twenties. As precious inside as outside, this elegant object competes in the luxury of the materials used. Like a diptych, gold flaps unfold to reveal two compartments that hold powders and other blushes, with a mirror delicately embedded above. A true innovator, the artisan jeweler demonstrates avant-garde ingenuity in the arrangement of a tiny space. Beyond the purely utilitarian aspect, the model we propose has the sober and geometric appearance of the avant-garde language. In imitation of the Far Eastern lacquers then in vogue, the decoration is composed of red and black enamels enriched with a frieze and a clasp set with calibrated baguette diamonds."
