Diamant Art-Deco-Armband, im Rosendesign, drei stylisierte Rosen sind im Art deco Stil geformt als Ornament aus alten Diamanten im Rosen- und Rundschliff, Gold (französische Markierungen), um 1925, 18,0 cm, signiert Boucheron Paris. Christies bietet da Armband 2020 in Genf für CHF 100.000-150.000 an.
Boucheron war das erste Schmuckhaus, das sich am Place Vendôme in Paris niederließ, als sein Gründer Frédéric Boucheron 1858 eine Boutique unter der Nummer 26 eröffnete.
Als brillanter Schmuckdesigner ist Boucheron nach wie vor berühmt für seine emaillierten Juwelen und Objekte aus der Jugendstil-Ära sowie für seine zarten, mit Diamanten besetzten Juwelen der Belle Epoque.
Ab den 1910er Jahren erwartete Boucheron, dass seine neue Kundengeneration nach einem anderen Juwelenstil suchte, der zu ihren kürzeren Säumen und Haarschnitten passte. Gerade Linien und Diamanten im Baguetteschliff ersetzten den neoklassischen Girlandenstil der vergangenen Jahre. Dieses Armband ist ein exquisites Beispiel für Boucherons Talent, da es ihm gelungen ist, das Blumenmuster des 19. Jahrhunderts an den neuen Geschmack für geometrische Muster anzupassen.
Eine Tiara von Boucheron mit einem sehr ähnlichen Motiv wurde 1925 auf der Internationalen Ausstellung für moderne dekorative und industrielle Kunst in Paris ausgestellt.
Boucheron Art Deco diamond bracelet with stylized roses
The BOUCHERON art deco bracelet is worne from Princess Henriette Auersperg above in the picture.
Art deco bracelet, in rose design as centers, setted with old, rose and circular-cut diamonds, gold (French marks), circa 1925, 18 .0 cm, signed Boucheron Paris. Christies, offered it 2020 in Geneve for CHF100,000-150,000.
Boucheron was the first jewellery house to settle on Place Vendôme in Paris, when its founder Frédéric Boucheron opened a boutique at number 26 in 1858.
A brilliant jewellery designer, Boucheron remains famous for his enamelled jewels and objects of the Art Nouveau era as well as his delicate diamond-set jewels of the Belle Epoque. From the 1910s onwards, Boucheron anticipated that his new generation of clients were looking for a different style of jewels, to match their shorter hemlines and haircuts. Straight lines and baguette-cut diamonds replaced the neo-classical garland style of the previous years. This bracelet is an exquisite example of Boucheron’s talent, as he managed to adapt the floral design of the 19th century to the new taste for geometric pattern. A tiara by Boucheron displaying a very similar motif was exhibited at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris.
Henriette von Bohlen und Halbach (1933 - 2019) was the daughter of Alois, Prince of Auersperg and Henriette, Countess Larish von Mönnich.
Her official title was Princess Henriette von Auersperg, but she was known to her friends and family as Hetti. The daughter of a diplomat and born to one of Austria’s oldest noble families, she met Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach in 1968, heir to the Krupps family dynasty, in 1968 and the two were soon engaged. Arndt was considered one of the most eligible bachelors in West Germany at the time due to his family’s immense wealth and he was an great jewelcollector. The couple’s 1969 wedding was attended by royalty and nobility from across Europe as well as American celebrities, including actor George Hamilton.
The couple enjoyed a jet setting lifestyle, splitting their time between their homes: the ‘Bled Targui’ villa in Marrakesh, Morocco; a Krupp family property that was originally a royal hunting lodge for King Mohammed V; a home in Palm Beach, Florida; and their castle in Austria, Schloss Blühnbach, which was previously owned by the Hapsburg family.
Their guests in their homes included Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, Princess Soraya of Persia, the Getty family, and the Rolling Stones, among many others. Hetti was most comfortable at Schloss Blühnbach, where she spent her days hunting and her nights hosting parties. Arndt died on May 8, 1986, leaving Hetti widowed at the age of 52. Henriette von Bohlen und Halbach died in 2019 in Kitzbühl.
