A three piece parure in coral glass beads and gilt metal, Miriam Haskell, 1950s
About the Item
An early and very unusual three piece set (or parure) by Miriam Haskell. Designed by the most cherished of house designers, Frank Hess, it is a subtle mix of soft coral beads and 'rose montes' (clear paste stones), in a most original design, having an antique feel to it, the leaf motif predominant. Perfect for Summer, all together for a more formal affair, or individually, lifting something simple and more casual.
Miriam Haskell was born in 1899, opening her first boutique near the McAlpin Hotel in New York in 1924 with the title ‘Miriam Haskell – le Bijou de l’Heure’, selling unusual, handmade pieces, when others were fascinated with machine made pieces. A contemporary of Coco Chanel, Haskell also incorporated sophisticated French components and craftsmanship, using glass from both Gripoix and Rousselet in Paris. Her characteristic celebrated ‘baroque’ (unevenly shaped) pearls came from the Far East and were made exclusively for her, composing some of the most creative and distinguished designs of the 20th Century. Although not a designer herself, she was a v canny businesswoman who knew how to get the very best out of her designers.. Her most extraordinary pieces were designed by Frank Hess and, later, Robert F. Clark,to be followed by Larry Vrba and Camille (Millie) Petronio. Miriam Haskell died in 1981, having created a hugely successful and lasting business.
