Henri Bloch Pair of Art Deco Bracelets

Creator: Henri Bloch
Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
Created circa 1930, this unusual pair of Art Deco bangle bracelets is set with over twenty carats of diamonds and eight carats of sapphires, mounted in platinum. The bracelets are designed with baguette, transitional and old-single-cut diamonds set strong and intricate geometric patterns at varying elevations, highlighted by channel-set arches of step-cut sapphires. An unusual innovation on the typical strap bracelet of the 1920s, these strong, sculptural forms make a striking statement, whether sparkling on each wrist or worn together on one for maximum impact.

Located in Paris on the Boulevard Voltaire, just northeast of the Marais and the Place des Vosges, the firm of Henri Bloch were retailers and manufacturers of jewelry from 1930 until they were taken over in 1941. In this period, small family firms still made original and impactful jewelry. These bracelets have the monumental feel of the early Art Moderne, the avant garde style of the period pioneered by Dusausoy and Mauboussin, among others.
