Chairman's Notes

Jewellery featuring mythological beasts was in vogue in France during this period. According to Henri Vever, Maison Plisson et Hartz were the first to introduce the chimera brooch, and despite an initially cool reaction, these brooches soon became very fashionable. An image of this brooch can be seen in Vever H., Purcell, K. and Possémé, E. (2001) French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century. London: Thames and Hudson, p. 1058.
