Falize Cloisonné Enamel and Diamond Pendant-Watch Brooch
An extraordinary example of Falize’s Renaissance Revival artistry, this pendant-watch brooch combines meticulous cloisonné enamel with 18K yellow gold, silver, and rose-cut diamonds in a masterful composition. The masterpiece is adorned with a vibrant foliate enamel pattern with a stylized winged creature terminating in the face of a crowned, bearded male, curling gracefully around two rose-cut diamond flowers. The watch case is further embellished with a rose-cut diamond cipher, completing this exquisite display of 19th-century French decorative art. Lemonnier retailed the jewel and comes complete with its original fitted Falize box.
