Lot Essay
Georges L'Enfant was an important jeweler who produced pieces for some of the most well-known jewelry houses during the 20th century. With his workshop located just off of Place Vendôme, L'Enfant worked for notable firms including Cartier, Hermès, Mellerio dits Meller and Van Cleef & Arpels. His playful maker's mark, a die and a bird's wing, denotes his bold and elegant pieces. Lot 68 is representative of L'Enfant's striking and original works in gold.
