Bernard Chaudron brooch signed, enamel on bronze, 1960’s ca, Canadian.
Chaudron`s jewelry is very rare, only creating his jewelry in his early career. Most of his designs are abstract/geometric but occasionally he would create figural pieces. He produced jewellery primarily in bronze between the 1960`s & 70`s. His epoxy/enamel work often glows in certain light. His work is uniquely different but comparable to the other great Canadian Brutalists such as Larin, Vidal and Alfandary.
This brooch is quality cast bronze. The Brutalist `cartouche` shape was fired a second time with blue enamel and gold plated gilt.
The reverse side is also textured and engraved `Bernard Chaudron`.
New gift box included.
This brooch is in good vintage conditon with working clasp. There is minor rubbing on the back to the gilt exposing the bronze underneath which gives this piece authenticity.
Packing is offered free of charge.
