We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Art Nouveau plique-a-jour jewellery features a vitreous enamelling technique where enamel is applied into open metal wire cells without a backing, allowing light to shine through the enamel like stained glass. Popularised between 1890 and 1910, this style frequently depicts naturalistic forms, including flora, insects, and mythical figures.

These brooches are typically constructed using sterling silver, silver gilt, or gold frames configured into delicate filigree framework. Powdered glass enamel is placed into the open cells and fired in a kiln, adhering to the metal edges through surface tension.

Authentic pieces display hallmarks denoting metal purity, such as 800 or 925 silver marks, alongside registered maker marks from historic workshops like Meyle & Mayer. Genuine plique-a-jour shows subtle imperfections, light crazing, and slight variations in enamel thickness consistent with hand production.

Antique brooches can be worn attached to the lapel of a tailored blazer, secured to a silk scarf, or styled on the collar of a button-down shirt. They can also be adapted using converter clips to wear as pendant necklaces.

Plique-a-jour enamel should be wiped gently with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth and kept away from liquid polishes, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes. Store the brooch flat in a lined jewellery box to prevent pressure on the delicate enamel cells.
