Curator's Notes
Though unsigned and previously unidentified, these bold, sculpted, yet feminine forms, also characterized by exquisite workmanship, called out to our experts as the distinctive work of the women-run Parisian firm of René Boivin. While in command of numerous in-house artisans, the women also collaborated with outside craftsmen such as Henri Heugas, whose maker's mark appears on the clip. According to the scholar Jean-Jacques Richard, Heugas inscribed his hallmark in Paris in 1924 with the letters HH. His workshop was located in the rue des Francs Bourgeois, in the 4th arrondissement (L'Hôtel-de-Ville), and he later relocated to the the 9th, (Ópera), at 20 rue Le Pelletier. Richard describes him as "above all a creator of various models for René Boivin."
