A gold necklace, stamped

Maurice Labarte and Georges Lenfant

The jewelry in this set bears the hallmark of the Labarte workshop, except for the "Belt" bracelet, which is stamped Georges Lenfant. They were entrusted to us for sale by the granddaughter of Maurice Labarte. Mr. Labarte, an artisan jeweler chain creates in 1951, with his wife, a workshop at his home in Seine-et-Marne.
A "single customer" quickly led the workshop to develop and train apprentices.
A partnership was established in the early 1960s with the Georges Lenfant company, for which he produced exclusive "made-to-order" jewelry for the major Parisian
Parisian houses. During this period, manufacturing patents were registered in both their names. The production is very important and the workshop counts more than 25 employees at the end of the 70s.
The pieces on display show that the Labarte workshop produced, among other things, the famous "paillette" jewelry.
