Chanel Heraldic Double Lion Brooch
About the Item
Whether they were Lions or Leos, Chanel was fiercely aligned with them throughout her life. This heraldic form brooch has obvious royal connotations. In her life she had many interactions with royals but in many ways probably felt they were the privileged ones.
Goossens reinterprets her majestic dablings as a crest, a pair of bronze lions holding a golden orb.
This Goossens brooch is also available as a singular lion or as a lion belt from the same series. 2 5/8" x 2"

The entire brooch is then backed on a gilded bronze back plate which acts like a mirror or reflector in giving these the glass stones "life" as raw tumbled emeralds, sapphires and rubies. It was Mlle Chanel's wish to elevate "faux" jewelry and this is clearly demonstrated in this instance. It takes extraordinary technique and experience at the jewelers bench...Category
