About the Item

This striking pendant necklace was hand-crafted by Limoges enamelist artist Mauricette Pinoteau. The rectangular silver plate frame is ornate with an enamel-on-copper cameo. The Art Deco-inspired design has a geometric shape. The pendant boasts assorted colors of cobalt blue and lavender blue, cerulean blue, white, and black over a silver foil background. The hand-written signature underside reads M. Pinoteau - Limoges. The piece is finished with a nicely worked serpentine chain with a spring ring-closing clasp. Measurements: The necklace's total length is 23.22 in (59 cm), the width is 2.13 in (5.3 cm), and the pendant is 1.38 in wide (3.4 cm) x 2.13 in high (5.3 cm). Note: Today, Mauricette Pinoteau is regarded as the sole custodian of the expertise and history of the Camille Fauré workshop. She entered the studio in 1972 and learned the 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." Andrée Fauré, daughter of Camille Fauré and her husband, Louis Malabre, led the workshop. 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, and grisaille. The workshop had 25 people. They were free of their time, but their level of requirement was very high. If quality control spotted a defect, the piece was immediately destroyed, and they had to start again until they got the perfect piece. They wanted to achieve perfection. Mauricette plays a crucial role in passing down the knowledge of enamel art. This is a well-placed trust because today, she is the only heiress of the know-how and the living memory of the Fauré workshop liquidated in 1985. She opened her shop in Limoges in 1991, where she still works.
