3. Artist Unknown, Portugal, “Bodice Brooch (Devant de corsage),” about 1760
Bijoux Parisiens02/03/17 • 1 min
During the reign of Louis XV of France (1715–1774), his courtiers preferred jewelry marked by symmetry and shining white gems. In this piece imported from Portugal, semi-precious stones—quartz and tourmaline—replaced diamonds. Like Pouget’s engravings nearby, this brooch features ribbons, flowers, and pear-shaped drops.
