Ruled by a monarchy at the heart of an Empire, English court life, which set the standard for the whole of Europe, was marked by displays of splendour. Of all the jewels worn on these very grand royal occasions, it was the tiaras, blazing from the heads of all the women present which contributed most to their brilliance. In anticipation of the series of banquets, balls and gala opera performances planned in London to celebrate the Coronation, the Duke of Westminster decided that his wife should have another tiara to add to her collection. Famous for his wealth and palatial way of life, the 2nd Duke was confident that Joseph Chaumet, whose speciality was the tiara, would propose something new, yet in the grand manner. A room in the shop in Place Vendme was reserved exclusively for them, and models of all those made by the firm were displayed on the walls, ready to be tried on - like hats- so that the client could decide on the design most flattering to her looks. For the Westminster tiara, Chaumet turned to Russia for inspiration and re-interpreted the halo-shaped kokoshnik cock s comb worn over the veil with the picturesque national costume, and which gave every woman the appearance of being crowned. The trails of diamond flowers and leaves shining out from the translucent blue enamel filling the curved surface, are set in platinum so thin as to be almost invisible, and which gives full value to the sparkle of the stones. The recent introduction of platinum had brought commissions for new tiaras, at first for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, and in the following years Chaumet had to break up many imposing Victorian fenders made of massive silver and gold for women who wanted lighter, more delicate effects, guaranteed not to cause them headaches. Married to the Duke in 1901, Duchess Constance, known as Shelagh 1876-1953 a tall and dark-eyed brunette ne Cornwallis West, reigned like a Queen over her husband s country estates and his sumptuous London home, Grosvenor House. According to Queen Marie of Romania in her autobiography, Histoire de Ma Vie, the great Westminster Ball was quite the best of all the Coronation festivities, and her description of it evokes the circumstances in which this tiara was worn. For Queen Marie, the scene in the Grosvenor House Ballroom, hung with famous Old Master paintings, including The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough and in the Supper Room which was a symphony of the blue hydrangeas and masses of lilies reflected in the gold dinner service, epitomised the perfection of refined aristocratic hospitality. She noticed too that, although crowded with the cream of London society and the most beautiful women in the world, all eyes were turned towards Duchess Shelagh and her sister Daisy, Princess of Pless, captivated by their beauty. At some point this splendid jewel left the Westminster family and when it resurfaced some twenty years ago it was incorrectly presumed that it had been created by the workshops of Faberg. However, through my research in the Chaumet ledgers, I was able to prove that it was in fact the creation of their atelier in Paris and had been purchased by the 2nd Duke of Westminster. It subsequently returned to the family where it has remained since. As a survival of the period of peace, prosperity, and pleasure, known as the Belle poque and which came to an end with the declaration of World War I in 1914, this tiara, combining Russian grandeur with Parisian elegance exemplifies the fine taste of the people of that vanished world.

Eine einzigartige Arbeit, Vergissmeinnicht-Blüten aus Diamanten und Brillianten auf einem Hintergrund aus blauem Transparent-Email, traumhaft schön in Platin als Kokoschnik von Chaumet, Paris gearbeitet.
Vorbild waren die Hof-Kokoschniks der Romanovs, mit blauem Samt und Edelsteinen. Es sollte der Eindruck erweckt werden, das russische Diadem wurde durch Alchemie von Samt zu Email. Die Blüten sind aus 280 Brillanten geformt, es ist ein absolutes Meisterstück und aussergewöhnlich in seiner Art.
Der zweite Herzog von Westminster kaufte das Juwel für seine Frau Constance Cornwallis-West 1911 bei Chaumet in Paris.

Der heutige Herzog erwarb die Tiara zurück, nachdem sie lange Zeit nicht in Familienbesitz war.
Das Victorianische Collier mit Saphiren ist ebenfalls Teil der Familien-Collection der Westminsters.

A delicate jewel decorated with trails of forget-me-not flowers seen against a background of blue plique-a-jour enamel
Chaumet composed ths kokoshnik closely based on the blue velvet kokoshniks decorated with jewelled ornaments worn at the court of the Czar, this tiara makes an amusing visual pun, as it has as thought by alchemy, been turned into blue enamel and diamonds.

The flowers on decorations is set with 280 brilliant-cut diamonds. This is such an important tiara from the perspective of design and quality.
Purchased by the second Duke of Westminster for his wife, Constance Cornwallis-West in 1911 from Chaumet, Paris at the time of the coronation of George V and Queen Mary, it cost £375. It was sold and the late Duke aquired it again for the family, after many years in 1988.

The Westminster tiara by Chaumet was given for auction in the year 2015 which sold for $677,899.

Also in the posession of the family collection the victorian necklace Carlo Giuliano - Sapphire Diamond and Enamel Pearl Necklace, with matching earrings, see above .

Since the beginning of civilization, crowning or encircling the head with floral decorations was a convenient and instant way to convey the wearer’s importance within their community. The Greeks and Romans showed their power, status and wealth by wearing hair ornaments that were made of laurel leaves and other foliage, which was later replicated by goldsmiths in precious metals. The word “tiara” originates from Persia describing the high-peaked head-dresses of Persian kings but the word is now associated with various head ornaments.

With the decline of the Roman Empire and the spread of Christianity, the wearing of wreaths and other head ornaments ceased as they were associated with “pagan religions”. Therefore the tiara vanished for centuries until it was revived by the advent of neo-classicism and the fashionable court of the First Empire at the beginning of the 19th-century. At that point, goldsmiths were given a wonderful platform to demonstrate their skills; free to experiment in a way they couldn’t when making smaller, more intricate jewels. And so the tiara was revived in glorious and sumptuous designs such as the superb Westminster.

 

English court life was full of splendor and grandeur, so wearing a tiara was essential to match the brilliance of the occasions. Joseph Chaumet took his inspiration from Russia and re-interpreted the halo-shaped “kokoshnik” , which was traditionally worn over a veil with the striking national costume, giving the appearance of being crowned. At the time, platinum was a new metal which, because of its strength and durability, enabled goldsmiths to create jewels that were more delicate in design leaving behind the heavy silver and gold settings of the Victorian period.

This tiara is decorated with translucent plique-à-jour blue enamel and it is a marvel that is has stayed in such good condition. Chaumet has made over 2,000 tiaras over the last 200 years – an incredible number, especially as each one would have been unique – but many have been broken up over time to re-use the stones as fashion trends changed. So when a mint-condition vintage tiara comes on to the market there tends to be great excitement. And more recently popularity and demand for tiaras has soared, making this item a true collector’s item.

One rare similar Tiara with plique-a-jour are made by Kreuter, Hanau, but never seen worn in public.

 

 

Una delicada joya adornada con no me olvides en un fondo de esmalte plique-a-jour azul.
Chaumet se basó en los kokoshnik de terciopelo azul adornados con gemas usados en la corte del Zar para crearla, dando la impresión que un alquimista transformó el terciopelo y gemas en esmalte y diamantes. Las flores fueron realizadas con brillantes. Es una obra maestra, única en su clase y calidad.
Fue originalmente adquirida en Chaumet de Paris, por el segundo duque de Westminster para su esposa, Constance Cornwallis-West, en 1911. El actual duque la ha adquirido nuevamente para su colección.
Forma también parte de la misma el collar y aros de zafiros a juego, que pueden apreciarse en la fotografía superior.
