Adorable and unusual vintage brooch by Marcel Boucher, shaped in great detail from textured and polished gold plated metal.
The order brooch is designed as a green-eyed elf in a phrygian hat (symbol of independence). The elf is playing a favourite French game of "boules" as he holds a small ball, created from the real white cultured pearl. Signed on the back Boucher, numbered 7457.
Background: Born in Paris, Marcel Boucher worked as a jewelry designer for Cartier and created costume jewelry from the 1930s until the early 60s. A beautiful statement piece by Marcel Boucher from the 1950s - a wonderful and whimsical reference to Boucher's French origin. This brooch is a wonderful addition to any vintage collection.
