About the Item

Romantic pin brooch by Limoges enamelist artist Mauricette Pinoteau. Ovoid sterling silver frame with an enamel-on-copper cameo. Art-Deco inspired design with a geometric shape. Assorted colors of cobalt blue and turquoise blue, navy blue, white and black over silver foil background. Hand-written signature underside. Security closing clasp. Measurements: 1.25 in. wide (3.1 cm) x 1.57 in. high (4 cm) About the artist: Mauricette Pinoteau is considered today as the only depository of the know-how and the memory of the Camille Fauré workshop. She entered the studio in 1972, where she learned the difficult art of enamel until 1978. "I was 19 years old," she says. "I did not know anything about enamel, I came from the tapestry I had studied at Aubusson Art School." The workshop was led by Andrée Fauré, daughter of Camille Fauré, and her husband Louis Malabre. Camille Fauré died in 1956. Along with her new teachers, the young apprentice discovers the fascinating world of enamel work. Everyone was respectful of the work of the other. The young people were there to learn, the old ones to transmit. Each had a specific function according to the disciplines: geometric enamel, painted enamel, grisaille. The workshop had 25 people. They were free of their time. But their level of the requirement was very high. If a defect was spotted, the piece was immediately destroyed and they had to start again until they get the perfect piece. They wanted to achieve perfection. Mauricette thus becomes a solid link in the transmission of the art of enamel. A well-placed trust because today, she is the only heiress of the know-how, and the living memory of the Faure workshop liquidated in 1985. She opened her own shop boulevard Louis-Blanc in Limoges, in 1991 where she still works.
