Item Details

An exceptional French 18th-century design drawing.


Painted in gouache and ink on paper, likely for a presentation proposal for a high-end commercial Jeweller, possibly for a carriage door design or trade sign.


The guild mark features two crossed hammers and a mangle. In the 18th century, these heavy tools represented the rigorous craft of the Orfèvre-Joaillier (goldsmith-jeweler), who relied on rolling presses and precision hammers to flatten and shape sheets of gold and silver.
