Anthony Lent, the face of fantasy

Rings with the moon, inspired by surrealist art, but also for children’s fairy tales: the fantasy of power with the goldsmith art of Anthony Lent ♦

There are children who seem to be adults already. And there are adults who do not want to grow. Or, better, they do not want to give up that fantasy world that corresponds to reality for the little ones. It’s the kingdom of Alice in Wonderland, or the Disney movies, or the Lord of the Rings saga, or fantasy. As Anthony Lent, which is a jeweler in New York who loves the animated objects. In particular, the jewels.

From 50 years Anthony Lent created small gold sculptures and precious stones or semi-precious stones, which have as a conductor a joyful style of fantasy. Eyes, faces that emerge from the metal, hands clinging to the stone of a ring: visionary images in jewels that are small handicraft sculptures.

It is no coincidence that Anthony Lent studied sculpture at the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts). And he discovered past artists like Benvenuto Cellini and Albrecht Dürer were also goldsmiths. Also René Lalique, René Boivin and Mario Buccellati were among the inspirers of her style. In 1971, Tony left Philadelphia and moved to Germany to continue his goldsmith training at the Fachhochschule in Schwäbisch-Gmünd. Back in the United States, he started his career as a jeweler in New York. Today he is joined by his sons, David and Max, who founded the Anthony Lent brand in 2013.

The jewels of Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau jewels are back in the spotlight, but with the eclectic style of the early twentieth century in the USA, or a revisited baroque, or a set of patterns that mix different styles: necklaces, brooches and earrings from a century ago are a strange combination between excess and innovation. Compared to the nineteenth-century taste, the most consistent influences of the artistic taste of the time can be seen in the jewels of the first part of the last century.

Garlands by Cartier, embroideries, flowers by Boucheron and Chaumet, references to ancient Egypt or the Orient, are among the most striking aspects. Novelties also achieved thanks to innovations in processing, such as the more frequent use of platinum, a resistant metal, which has made it possible to acquire lightness, with jewels that have become less heavy and more resistant than those in silver. But in choosing a jewel that is one hundred years old one must be careful: at that time the manufacturing methods were different from the current ones, which are aided by technology.

Even the choice of stones was less scientific than today, not to mention the treatment of the gems, which now manages to enhance stones that were then used in their natural state: opaque, cut in a somewhat approximate way to brilliant, pink, teardrop and cabochon, to which shapes such as calibré and briolettes were added. Yet the jewels between the end of the nineteenth century and the Roaring Twenties mark a turning point and retain a great charm. So much so that now they are once again the center of attention on the market, among auction houses and antiques.

But what are the characteristics of Art Nouveau jewels? It must be premised that the artists and craftsmen of the jewelry of that period wanted to distinguish themselves first of all from mass production, which was beginning to appear on the market at that time. For this reason, Art Nouveau jewels are characterized by refined craftsmanship. Famous designers and jewelers such as René Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Karl Fabergé are still remembered today. Their jewels have been copied and even the large object or fashion industries have been inspired by these masters of design.

Amethyst, jade and gold necklace designed by Julia Munson under the direction of Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1906

In turn, the creators of Art Nouveau jewelery were fascinated by the art of China and Japan, which were still little known artistic expressions in the West. Natural elements such as animals, insects or flowers have been associated with mythical creatures such as dragons. And, as in the watercolors made in China and Japan, Art Nouveau favored pastel colors.

Art Nouveau jewels also favored the female figure. Let’s not forget that in the Victorian era a woman could not show even an ankle in public. Art Nouveau was not afraid, as a reaction, to enhance the female body without censorship, often in figures associated with mythological or fantastic characters. Even the jewelery has taken this aspect into account.

The most famous creator of that period was the French glass designer and goldsmith René Lalique (lived between 1860 and 1945). He used soft colors and volumes with sinuous curves, semi-precious stones, amber, mother-of-pearl, and unusual materials such as tortoise shell, horn, baroque pearls.

Lalique, the name still counts




Lalique collections are again ready for fans of one of the great names of the jewelery history  ♥
Death and resurrection. Or, if you like it more: a good revival. The history of the Lalique brand goes back more than a century and a half ago, namely on April 6, 1860, the birth date of René Jules Lalique. One of the greatest designers, but the term is very reductive, which marked an era and, incidentally, the Belle Epoque, in Paris and in the jewelery. His creations had as their subject, above all, natural elements, animals and women, with the style of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Lalique was not only an expert in gold and precious stones, but also a glassmaker and object designer. He worked for Cartier, designed jewels for Sarah Bernhardt and was a star of the 1900s Universal Exhibition in Paris. In 1945, his company, which had expanded its activity to crystal objects, was pursued to A bit from his nephew, Marie-Claude. Lalique brand has come back to full strength in 2008 when it was bought by Swiss Art & Fragrance, under the management of Silvio Denz.

Now the company produces fragrances, crystals, but has returned to jewelry with the Ginko collection. A rejuvenation greeted with delight by fans, who can now choose between end of jewelry and a line of few pieces of jewelery. Lalique also opened a store of fine and high a fine jewelry in Rue de la Paix, Paris, a short walk from Place Vendôme. The collections, with over 200 pieces, confirm the rebirth of the Lalique brand in the important jewelry.

The luminous path of Luz Camino

//




The extraordinary art of Luz Camino, a Spanish designer between Art Nouveau and Pop Art ♦ ︎
Its name is Luz, a word that means light in Spanish, while the surname is Camino, which means path or direction. In short, a path of light seems appropriate for a designer who works with light or, better, understands the nuances and directions. The high-jewelry designer is up the stage from a long time, above all for its innovative approach. Among his specialties is to create complex unique pieces playing with precious stones, semi-precious stones and different materials, even the common metal used for packaging. She is also (almost) a self-taught woman, with the exception of some jewelery courses she attended in Madrid. Despite this, her jewels out of the ordinary have found a place at the Museum of decorative arts in Paris and at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, as well as at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.

To tell the truth, however, Luz Camino has a master, even if she has never met her: it is the work of the greatest exponent of Art Nouveau jewelry, René Lalique. The brooches, the large necklaces, the supple movements of the materials, the shapes inspired by flowers, plants and animals, are a reworked legacy of the great artistic movement of the early decades of the twentieth century, made with plique-à-jour glazing. But not only. Because the designer-artist has also followed her own, unconventional, creative way. For example with the Pencil Shaving collection, with jewels that reproduce the wood shavings of tempered pencils, or potato chips. In short, from Nouveau Art to Pop Art. Luiz Camino’s jewels are also protagonists in Paris at Pad 2022 (5-10 April): exhibiting them is Second Petale, a Parisian gallery specializing in contemporary and vintage artistic jewels.

Lalique story for sale at Sotheby’s




A must for those who love jewelry that has made history. Sotheby’s Paris (auction on December 17) offers a rare museum-quality collection of René Lalique pieces, all being auctioned for the first time. This is a collection curated by Claude H. Sorbac, a collector who passed away a few months ago. Lalique’s jewelry is a career photograph of the ingenious designer, who was a key figure of Art Nouveau. On sale are 39 pieces, including several works purchased by Lalique’s heirs.

Claude Henri Sorbac was part of a family of art lovers and grew up surrounded by a collection of paintings and precious objects, including great works by the likes of Renoir, Sisley, Degas and Tiepolo. He was forced to leave home during World War II, and at the age of 22 he enlisted in the Moroccan Spahi regiment and participated in the liberation of Paris. Then, he became an entrepreneur and, with greater financial means, a collector of antiques, including the works of Lalique, to which he dedicated several decades, traveling to flea markets and auctions alike to seek out the best of the best.

Avant-garde artist-designer, René Lalique has worked in everything from jewelry, goldsmithing and illustration to sculpture and glassware. The collection proposed by Sotheby’s highlights his pioneering use of innovative materials such as glass, aluminum, bronze and copper, mixed with other noble materials such as diamonds, precious gems and gold.

Wartski, royal jewels

/




Wartski, the jeweler who sells vintage pieces and provided the wedding ring to William and Kate ♦ ︎

Do you want a wedding ring like that bought by Prince William to marry Kate Middleton? The right address is No. 14 of Grafton Street, London. Here is the official jeweler of the British Royal, Wartski. In 2011 Wartski produced William’s wedding ring with Catherine Middleton: a simple yellow metal hoop, modeled with the use of a small Welsh gold bullion given to Prince by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. But already in 2005 Wartski had made wedding rings for Prince Charles and Camilla, current consort of the successor to the throne.

Wartski, however, is a particular jeweler: apart from wedding rings, he does not offer his own jewelery, but sells antique or vintage pieces of great value. It has a long and adventurous history. The jewelery company was founded in 1865 in Wales by a Russian refugee, Morris Wartski, escaped pogrom. After the Russian Revolution, Wartski specializes in jewelery created by Carl Fabergé, Russian-born goldsmith-artist, famous for the elaborate eggs created for the czars and then, more generally, in the jewelry trade of the era. Not only vintage but above all jewels of great designers, or of great Maison. In 1911, the jewelery store, led by the founder’s sons, moved to London after some shift, settled in the modern headquarters in the Mayfair district. Wartski is one of the most exclusive British jewelers. It participates in antiques fairs such as Tefaf and is now owned by Nicholas Snowman, Kenneth’s son and Morris Wartski’s grandson. Geoffrey Munn, on the other hand, is the current Ceo and is a well-known face of the BBC, as well as author of numerous books on jewels and Wartski’s story.

The jewels of Tefaf in New York





The Tefaf returns to New York for the Fall with so many exceptional jewels ♦ ︎

The Tefaf is back in New York, the great event dedicated to design, antiques and precious objects, like jewels. Born in Maastricht, the fair has long since expanded its appointments with two events in the American city, in spring and autumn (October 27-31 in 2018). The reason is clear: New York offers the ideal setting in America for a fair like Tefaf, which remains the benchmark for the European market. In short, it is a point of arrival for traders and lovers of beauty, from painting (with works until 1920) to jewelry, but in this case it is not only vintage.

At Tefaf in New York there are pieces of Maison like Cartier, Otto Jakob, Hemmerle or designers like Suzanne Belperron and René Lalique.

In addition to the commercial aspect, cultural events are also scheduled at Tefaf, such as a conference on Sunday, October 28th, which focuses on Men and Jewelry: does an earring have gender? Why, in short, are the jewels in the West seen so often as a feminine art form? Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Museum prepares an exhibition entitled Jewelry: The Body Transformed. In short, for those who happen in New York it is an opportunity to consider the jewels also from a cultural point of view. Margherita Donato

Meduse: bijoux and taboo in Paris

Taboos and Medusa: 400 exciting jewels on exhibition in Paris ♦
There is nothing more exciting than breaking a taboo. And perhaps this is why Paris dedicates an exhibition to those jewels inspired by the charm of the forbidden. The exhibition is called Medusa: Bijoux et tabous. The mythological Medusa, woman with snakes in place of her hair, had the power to petrify anyone who looked at her. In short, she was herself a taboo. On the subject, over the centuries, writers, painters and jewelers have practiced.
Feminine and Forbidden, Luxury and Diversity: The exhibition organized at the Paris Museum of modern Art presents about 400 pieces of artists such as Meret Oppenheim, Man Ray, Calder, Dali, Picasso, Fabrice Gygi, Thomas Hirschhorn , Danny McDonald. An more, designers such as René Lalique, Anni Albers, Line Vautrin, Tony Duquette Bless, Gijs Bakker, Karl Fristch Sophie Hanagarth, Suzanne Belperron René Boivin, Victoire de Castellane and of course hewelers such as Cartier, Pomellato, Van Cleef & Arpels, and so on. But also a fake crown signed by Vivienne Westwood. Jewelery is divided into four areas (identity, value, body, and rite) with a rich program. There are also events and performances. Federico Graglia

Lalique scocca la freccia di Cupido

[wzslider]S’ispira al mito di Amore e Psyche la nuova collezione Soulmates (anime gemelle) di Lalique. E riprende con ali, frecce, serpenti e mughetto (la firma della casa), l’iconografia della storia di una passione tormentata ma a lieto fine, tra una fanciulla alata (in molte culture antiche la farfalla era il simbolo dell’anima) ed Eros, figlio di Afrodite. Il segno stilistico è un omaggio al fondatore del marchio, René Lalique, perché fa riferimento ai disegni Art Nouveau che lo hanno reso celebre, tra cui la farfalla, appunto. Lo stesso vale per i materiali con l’uso dello smalto, nella tecnica tipica di quel periodo plique-à-jour e con le infinite combinazioni cromatiche nella linea Pysiche. I disegni simmetrici, come frecce, in quella battezzata Eros invece rimandano a influenze Art Decò. Un trionfo di colori con diamanti e pietre di luna, acquamarine e citrini, zaffiri arancio e rosa, smeraldi e rubini, granati color mandarino e tanzanite, lapislazzuli e tsavoriti montati per adattarsi a un vivere contemporaneo. Infatti, alcuni oggetti sono stati pensati per un uso versatile: dalla collana si possono staccare alcuni elementi che da soli diventano spilla o ciondoli, mentre basta aggiungere una cascata di perle delicate per trasformare degli orecchini da giorno in un accessorio da gran sera. G.N.

The same for applies to the materials with the use of enamel, in the typical technique of that period plique-à-jour and with the endless combinations of colors in the line Pysiche. The symmetrical designs, such as arrows, in the line called Eros in that instead refer to Art Deco influences. An explosion of color with diamonds and moonstones, aquamarines and citrines, orange and pink sapphires, emeralds and rubies, garnets and tangerine-colored tanzanite, lapis lazuli and tsavorites mounted to fit a contemporary lifestyle.

Симметричные конструкции, такие как стрелки, Эрос крещен в том, что вместо относятся к воздействиям ар-деко. Взрыв цвета с бриллиантами и лунные камни, аквамарины и цитринами, оранжевый и розовыми сапфирами, изумрудами и рубинами, гранатами и мандарина цвета танзанит, лазурита и tsavorites установлены, чтобы соответствовать современный образ жизни. В самом деле, некоторые элементы были разработаны для универсального использования: ожерелье может быть отсоединена от нескольких пунктов, которые становятся подвески или брошь, и просто добавить каскад нежных жемчужные серьги, чтобы превратить изо дня в вечерней одежды аксессуар.

spagna-okLalique dispara una flecha

Es inspirado en el mito de Eros y Psique la nueva colección Soulmates de Lalique. Alas, flechas, serpientes y lirio de los valles (la firma de la casa), son la iconografía de la historia de una pasión atormentada, pero con un final feliz, entre  una muchacha con alas (en muchas culturas antiguas la mariposa es el símbolo del alma) y Eros, hijo de Afrodita. El signo es un homenaje estilístico al fundador de la marca, René Lalique, ya que hace referencia a los diseños Art Nuveau que le han hecho famoso, como la mariposa, de hecho. Lo mismo se aplica a los materiales con el uso de esmalte, en la técnica típica de ese período plique-à-jour y con las infinitas combinaciones de colores en la línea Pysiche. Los diseños simétricos, como las flechas, en loa linea llamada Eros, se refieren a las influencias de Art Deco. Una explosión de color con diamantes y piedras de luna, aguamarinas y citrinos, naranjos y zafiros rosas, esmeraldas y rubíes, granates y tanzanita color mandarina, lapislázuli y tsavoritas montadas para adaptarse a un estilo de vida contemporáneo. De hecho, algunos elementos fueron diseñados para un uso versátil: el collar se puede extraer de sólo unos pocos artículos que se convierten en colgantes o broche, y sólo tiene que añadir una cascada de delicados aretes de perlas para transformar desde el primer día a la noche desgaste de accesorios.
