Product Details

An exceptional signed Matisse Ltd. necklace and matching clip earring set dating to the golden age of American mid-century modern design, circa 1952–1958. Founded by Jerry Fels, Matisse was the celebrated enamel line of Renoir, producing beautifully handcrafted copper jewelry finished with kiln-fired vitreous enamels. This striking set features rich warm copper paired with an unusual green-and-white spatter enamel motif in a sculptural, modernist design that perfectly embodies the Atomic Age aesthetic. The matching clip earrings are signed Matisse, and the necklace beautifully complements the set, making it increasingly difficult to find complete after more than 70 years. A wonderful addition to any collection of Matisse, Renoir, copper jewelry, Mid-Century Modern, Atomic, Scandinavian Modern, or modernist design.
