This bright, bold brooch makes me happy. I love the artist motif of course, and as we know from previous blog posts, I love copper and enamel jewelry. I was so excited to find this piece, as it is the first Matisse piece I have in my collection. I do have a gorgeous Renoir necklace, made by the same company that I wrote about on my very first blog post on January 1st. This brooch was made somewhere in the 1950s or 1960s by Renoir of California, but the "Matisse" mark was only used on their designs in copper.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.Thank you to the following website(s) for the historical content of this blog post:
