About Fibulas:
Moroccan fibulae, also known as Moroccan brooches or fibules, are traditional jewelry pieces that have been used in Morocco for centuries. These fibulae are typically made of silver or silver alloy and feature intricate designs and embellishments. They are often associated with Berber and Moroccan Amazigh culture.
Moroccan fibulae vary in size, shape, and design, but they generally consist of a pin and a decorative plate or head. The pin is inserted through the fabric of a garment, and the plate rests on the surface, securing the fabric in place. The decorative plate of the fibula is where the artistic and cultural elements shine.
The designs of Moroccan fibulae are often influenced by Berber symbolism and motifs, reflecting the cultural heritage of the region. Common motifs include geometric patterns, interlacing shapes, and stylized symbols representing fertility, protection, or tribal affiliation. The fibulae can also feature engraved patterns, filigree work, or inlaid gemstones, adding to their aesthetic appeal.
Moroccan fibulae are primarily worn by women as part of traditional attire for special occasions, festivals, or weddings. They are typically fastened to the front of a dress or a cape-like garment called a haik. The fibulae not only serve a functional purpose of securing the garment but also add a touch of beauty and cultural significance to the overall attire.
Today, Moroccan fibulae continue to be valued for their craftsmanship and cultural importance. They are sought-after collector's items and can be found in museums, antique shops, and traditional jewelry stores in Morocco and around the world. They serve as a testament to the rich heritage and traditional artistry of Moroccan jewelry...

Karl LAGERFELD, Large vintage BROOCH, signed
Located in SAINT-CLOUD, FR
Magnificent large BROOCH,
vintage,
by Karl LAGERFELD, signed,
diameter 5.7 cm, weight 37 g,
very good state.
Born in Hamburg, Karl Lagerfeld settled in Paris in 1954. His design of a coat won him the International Wool Secretariat and allowed him to work for the famous couturier Pierre Balmain. He then became the designer for Jean Patou.
Because of his ability to revive and reimagine brands that had stagnated, in 1984 Lagerfeld was given the reins of Chanel.
Lagerfeld's collections for Chanel, in particular, testify to his talent for synthesizing the old and the new. From Watteau (spring-summer 1985 couture) and Serge Roche (spring-summer 1990 ready-to-wear) to hip-hop fly girls (fall-winter 1991 ready-to-wear), surfers (ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2003) and Ancient Egypt (Pre-Fall 2019), Lagerfeld drew inspiration from each season to redesign Chanel signatures.

Old XIXth BROOCH, Enamels, Silver, Vermeil, Antik BROOCH, Burgundy France
Located in SAINT-CLOUD, FR
OLD BROOCH early 19th century,
antique brooch,
in Georgian French enamel and vermeil silver.
Brooch is decorated with an enamel motif typical of the town of Bourg-en-Bresse,
in the region of Burgundy, France.
French jewel from the Restoration period in France, Georgian period, between 1819 and 1838.
dimensions: width 5 cm, height 4.5 cm, weight 14 g,
good condition for its age, but I think the clasp needle is not original
(hence the price, which is always negotiable).
Bressan enamels are traditional jewels exclusively made in Bourg-en-Bresse in the department of Ain, they are made of enamel, fine particles of gold, all set on a mount.
The Bressan tradition dates the origin of this technique back to the 14th century from 1397 when an enameller from the city, Master Guillaume, was entrusted with the sword of Amédée VIII of Savoy to decorate the pommel and the scabbard. This regional jewel, intimately linked to the traditional Bressan costume, reached its peak in the years 1800 to 1900, both in their creation and in their distribution. In the middle of the 19th century, the Bressan goldsmiths Amédée Bonnet and Amédée Fornet gave new impetus to these regional creations. In their workshops in Bourg-en-Bresse, they initiated a new genre, incorporating enamel plates, gold sequins, enamel beads and filigree arabesques into colored backgrounds.

Louis ROUSSELET, Brooch in glass beads, FRANCE 1940, vintage
Located in SAINT-CLOUD, FR
Sublime old BROOCH,
40s vintage,
by famous French designer LOUIS ROUSSELET and Gripoix glass,
length 8cm, width 5.5cm,
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.

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…
