 Description

Gothic revival gold bracelet by Wièse. A yellow gold articulated openwork bracelet, flowing with movement, composed of ten quatrefoil shape links each with four textured interlocking hoops with cross motif to the centre, featuring foliage and berry decoration, polished edges and fancy shaped backholing, each quatrefoil panel joined by two ridged oval links, fitted with a secure integrated push catch and c-clasp with safety chain, approximately 7.5 " in length. Marked 18 carat yellow gold, approximately 40.18 grams in weight, signed and maker's mark for 'Wièse', French, circa 1885.

 Comments

During the latter half of the 19th century, goldsmiths turned increasingly towards the past, sourcing inspiration from ancient and medieval artefacts and reviving age-old techniques. At the forefront of these revival movements was Jules Wièse (1818-1890), who came to Paris from Berlin in 1839. Combining medieval motifs with traditional manufacturing methods, Wièse drew inspiration from Arthurian legend and other chivalric tales, as well as Gothic architecture and art forms. His work is highly sculptural, often featuring figures which could be either human or mythological in nature, many with a definite Gothic overtone.

This bracelet features the poincon (*WIESE*) for Louis Daniel WIESE, Jules’ son. Louis worked for his father from the tender age of 12 (in 1864), and formally took over the business in 1880. Under Louis' leadership, the business continued to create pieces of note and exhibited an unsurpassed level of craftsmanship.
