A SELECTION OF RARE AND SOUGHT-AFTER PIECES FOR THE JEWELLERY AUCTION

On Thursday 24 June, Aguttes Jewellery Department will offer for auction a set of 150 pieces selected over the last few months by the head of departement, Philippine Dupré la Tour. Jewellery lovers and enthusiasts will be able to enjoy rare and sought-after pieces from private collections. The majority are signed by the great jewellery houses of Place Vendôme.


A "Pagoda" brooch from Cartier evokes the temples of the Far East through its pyramidal shape. The central part of the brooch holds a rectangular jadeite motif engraved with a decoration in slight relief on one side of a bird perched below a fruit on a gnarled tree from which two branches and their buds branch off, and on the other side of a bird perched on a pine branch, reminiscent of the oriental inspiration of the early 20th century. Made around 1920 and signed and numbered Cartier Paris.

A pair of "Cigognes" brooches with a moving story will complete the scattering. These Van Cleef & Arpels brooches were commissioned by the current owner's grandmother, who was the godmother of a French army aeronautical combat unit, whose distinction she wished to wear. The storks "with wings folded in a swoop" were chosen in June 1916 to represent the SPA 26 squadron, known as the Stork Squadron.
