Madeleine RIVIÈRE by the workshop of Louis ROUSSELET, old brooch, vintage 30s
About the Item
Magnificent old BROOCH in brass and glass beads,
vintage 30s,
creation of Madeleine Rivière made by the workshop of famous parurier Louis ROUSSELET,
length 7.5cm, width 4cm,
very fine quality, sewing, glass art,
good condition.
A child of Ménilmontant and the popular suburbs of Paris, Louis Rousselet was born in 1892 and shared his first class benches with Maurice Chevalier, before becoming an apprentice in a pearl factory at the age of 12. Although very young, his artistic talent and strong personality made him quickly noticed.
In 1920, he founded his own workshops to which he gave his name and whose specialty was imitation enamel and pearl glass beads. Coco Chanel, who then wanted to promote costume jewellery, became one of the house's first clients. Then Dior, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Balmain…
For more than 60 years, all the great couturiers came to get their supplies from Rousselet, who imagined for them adornments implementing a unique know-how. The workshops employed up to 800 people.
Many music hall and cinema personalities appear in the press covered with Rousselet pearls, such as Ginger Rogers during a stocking organized by Jacques Fath. Mistinguett is the face of the house and regularly strikes a pose in the workshops, surrounded by the workers and the parurier.
Between 1920 and until the mid-1960s Louis Rousselet would be one of the most important Parisian fashion designers.

très belle qualité, couture, art de verre,

Enfant de Ménilmontant et des faubourgs populaires de Paris, Louis Rousselet naît en 1892 et partage ses premiers bancs de classe avec Maurice Chevalier, avant de devenir apprenti dans une fabrique de perles à l’âge de 12 ans. Bien que très jeune, son talent artistique et sa forte personnalité le font rapidement remarquer.
En 1920, il fonde ses propres ateliers auxquels il donne son nom et dont la spécialité est l’émail d’imitation et la perle de verre nacrée. Coco Chanel, qui souhaite alors faire la promotion du bijou fantaisie, devient l’une des premières clientes de la maison. Puis Dior, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Balmain…
Pendant plus de 60 ans, tous les grands couturiers viendront se fournir chez Rousselet, qui imagine pour eux des parures mettant en œuvre un savoir-faire unique. Les ateliers employèrent jusqu’à 800 personnes.
De nombreuses personnalités du music-hall et du cinéma apparaissent dans la presse couvertes de perles Rousselet, comme Ginger Rogers lors d’un bas organisé par Jacques Fath. Mistinguett est l’égérie de la maison et prend régulièrement la pose dans les ateliers, entourée des ouvrières et du parurier.
Entre 1920 et jusqu’au milieu des années 60 Louis Rousselet sera l’un des plus importants paruriers parisiens pour la couture.
