Bracelet (France)
This is a bracelet. It was made by Maison Marret Baugrand. It is dated ca. 1865 and we acquired it in 1983. Its medium is gold, amethyst, leather and silk case. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Maison Marret Baugrand, founded by the jewelers Paul Marret (died 1853) and Gustav Baugrand (1826-1870). was active during the 1850's and 60's. The firms supplied jewels to the Empress Eugenie and her court in France and also to Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. Antique or Etruscan-style jewels, like this bracelet, were shown by Marret Baugrand at the 1862 Univeral Exposition in Paris, and a large display of Egyptian-style jewelry at the 1867 Universal Exposition in London won Baugrand the French medal of the Legion of Honor. (Jewelry 1989-90).
