Les fleurs enchantées..

In the sale of the 7th December, McTear’s are delighted to offer this Victorian hand painted brooch.

Made by Swiss watchmakers and jewellers Capt and Boyer in the late nineteenth century, the brooch is painted to depict a character from the opera La Guirlande ou Les Fleurs enchantées.

The brooch was painted by G. Lamunian and is signed to the right of the image. It is also signed to the reverse ‘Capt and Boyer’ and is in its original fitted case.

Such pieces are rare to the market and this brooch represents a wonderful opportunity for those collectors of jewellery and Victorian art to add significantly to their collection.
