Download or read book French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century written by Henri Vever and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 1312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle by Henri Vever is an indispensable survey of the jewelry produced in Paris from the Empire to the Art Nouveau period. Since it was first published in three volumes nearly one hundred years ago, it has become the definitive source of information for the jewelry profession as well as for those who simply revel in the intricate beauty of fabulous jewels. Now, for the first time, the entire text is available in English in a single volume. Vever, himself a highly accomplished jeweler, compiled a study that charts the histories of both the humblest and the most famous of his colleagues, including Bapst, Boucheron, Falize, Fontenay, Pouquet, Froment-Meurice, Gaillard, Lalique, Mellerio, and Wièse. This vivid contemporary account is full of data gathered directly from the jewelers themselves or from their descendants. It contains fascinating anecdotes concerning Imperial and Royal commissions together with entertaining tales of workshop practices. In crediting the designers, chasers, engravers, and enamelers who collaborated with the famous jewelry houses, Vever acknowledged the talents of technicians who often worked anonymously. In identifying unrecorded craftsmen, he made his book a unique document. Political, economic, and industrial developments are discussed, as are their repercussions on society and fashion. With his intimate knowledge of techniques, Vever was able to analyze changes that were continually taking place in manufacturing processes. He also recorded the changing styles in jewelry and their sources of inspiration, ranging from the Antique to the Orient.

Download or read book Art nouveau jewellery written by Fritz Falk and published by Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH. This book was released on 1999 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique jewelry creations of Art Nouveau, which blurred the boundaries between jewellery and sculpture, the applied and the fine arts, are impressively represented in this book by the work of their major exponents, first and foremost Rene Lalique. As an early exponent of Art Nouveau jewellery making, Rene Lalique was not only the leading Belle Epoch jewellery designer and maker, he was also one of the greatest European jewellers of all time; he united consummate mastery of his craft with the highest aesthetic standards in combining innovative motifs and shapes and rarely-used materials like horn or glass. The greatest French jewelers, among them Fouquet, Gaillard, Vever and Gautrait, were inspired by Lalique to create their own original designs.
Download or read book Art Nouveau written by Gabriel P. Weisberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. Design reform in the fields of architecture and the decorative or applied arts became objectified through writings published during the period of 1885 to 1910. This investigation includes, but is not limited to, Art Nouveau in France and Belgium, and the arts and crafts movement in England and the United States. Even though the similar processes of creativity and shared goals of Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement have long been recognized, attempts to explore their origins and their points of interrelation with the broader scope of art history have been largely unsuccessful—until now.
