PROVENANCE
Paul-Emile Brandt (1883-1952) was a Swiss-born jewellery designer working in Paris during the first half of the nineteenth century, with an address at the Rue des Saints Peres. During his early career he worked in the Art Nouveau style, focusing on floral and foliate forms as well as medals, and exhibiting annually at La Societe des Artistes Francais. His later works were in the Art Deco style, creating jewels and cigarette cases in a monochromatic or bichromatic palette, relying heavily on white gold, diamonds, onyx and lacquer. He retired from the jewellery business after World War II, when he established a tinware manufacturing company.
