8. Eugène Fontenay, enamels by Eugène Richet, “Bracelet,” about 1875
Bijoux Parisiens02/03/17 • 2 min
This bracelet represents a joint product of the jeweler Eugène Fontenay and an enamellist, Eugène Richet. Venerating antiquity, they featured small painted enamel panels with scenes of an ancient Greek procession based on the Parthenon sculptures in Athens. Musicians lead the caravan, followed by the figure of Victory in a chariot—led by cherubs on leopards—and a bull to be sacrificed.
