]]> French Gold. France was the birthplace of the modern hallmarking system in Europe with the Goldsmiths Statute of 1260 promulgated under Etienne Boileau, Provost of Paris, for King Louis IX. A standard for silver was thus established. In 1275, King Philip III prescribed, by royal decree, the mark for use on silver works, along with specific punches for each community’s smiths. In 1313, his successor, Philippe IV “the Fair” expanded the use of hallmarks to gold works. Reference: Wikipedia.

French gold items were fashionable among the elite with designers such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Below are some examples and price guides of Art Deco French gold items including an example of a French gold hallmark and a jeweled cigarette case.
