Renoir MidCentury ArtNouveau-Style Copper Openwork Curvilinear Link Necklace

About the Item

With organically-shaped copper openwork links recalling the rhythmic motifs of American architect Louis Sullivan from the Art-Nouveau period, this Renoir mid-century curvilinear 17-link necklace is signed on the hook of its clasp. An extension chain with textured round links ends in a signature hangtag symbol. As there is a copyright symbol with the script signature, the necklace does not date earlier than 1955 or later than 1964 when the line was last produced. Its condition is excellent with microscopic scratches seen in very bright light around the signature. Renoir also produced the line Matisse, which is decorated with enamel.

  • Early Renoir MidCentury Copper Stylized Tulip 18 Link Choker Necklace
    By Renoir
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Without a post-1955 copyright symbol and with the brand's earliest script signature, this likely late 1940s signed Renoir shiny copper choker necklace features 18 links each stylized as a tulip flowerhead in a modernized bolder Art Nouveau style. The American jewelry company's exclusive durable "Copron" finishing on the top of the links prevents tarnishing and fingerprints. The functional tiny linear links and the reverse side of the necklace were meant to remain blackened, while a black signature is impressed on the underside of the fold-over clasp. Comparatively without the additional enamel decoration of the company's post-1952 jewelry line signed Matisse...
