No Reserve Price - Cufflinks 18k gold filled - François-Auguste Savard

Original art nouveau by Fix The Fix brand was created in 1829 by François-Auguste Savard, in the Marais district, the heart of the jewelry industry at the time. This is where the jewelry industry was born, which was to experience a dazzling destiny. Success was immediate throughout France but also quickly abroad. At the Paris exhibition of 1855, he received a gold medal “For its good workmanship, its impeccable polish, the superiority of its quality and the research of its designs”. In 1868, technical progress made it possible to use the mechanical stamping process, whereas until then everything had been manual. It was in 1895 that the Fix brand was actually born, with the motto "His armor is in gold" with the representation of a knight and his helmet, in order to make the title of gold used in its jewelry immutable, and to restore customer confidence. Most jewelry from the late 19th and early 20th centuries was designed using this process and has a FIX hallmark affixed to the reverse, I often use them in my jewelry because the designs and patterns are particularly delicate and they are often in perfect condition despite their age. Dimensions: each of the four pieces 2 x 0.7 cm. Stamped Fix on the soldered link that holds the chain on each cufflink.This predates the square mark so just marked Fix. Condition: good. Will be shipped in a gift box or pouch with track & trace by registered mail!
