Lot Essay

This elegant pavé-set diamond rose brooch demonstrates the superior style and craftsmanship of Lacloche Frères, a small family firm that once rivalled the likes of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. Founded in 1875 in Madrid by four brothers and active until the 1950s, the maison reached its height of popularity between the two World Wars, with a much admired appearance at the Salon des Arts Décoratifs of 1925. Produced in limited production, the firm's creations are highly sought-after collectibles. An elegant example of the Lacloche Frères aesthetic, this skillfully rendered pavé-set diamond rose brooch is simultaneously striking yet delicate.
