ornamentedbeing: Dress, Girolamo Giuseffi, ca. 1906. Silk and silk velvet. The appliquéd and cutout stylized flowers—either peonies or plum blossoms—are drawn in an Art Nouveau style. The dramatic sleeve silhouette along with the great amount of ruching and hand pin tucking throughout the bodice and skirt make this a very expensive garment, perhaps part of a trousseau.

These delicate clips demonstrate the combination of these two themes in their abstraction of flowing organic forms by using a Plique-a-Jour enameling technique. Plique-a-jour, French for ” open to light” was a tool used by Art Nouveau jewelers to juxtapose light and dark, and create a miniature stained glass window in their creations.Property from the Kelekian Family CollectionEstimate: $4,000-6,000Sold for $21,250
