Description
Françiose Cailles
René Boivin Joaillier. London: Éditions de l'Amateur and Quartet Books, 1994
The first edition of this rare and extensive work on the life and work of René Boivin (1864-1917), containing beautiful colour plates of her jewellery designs.
The publication of this book by Attallah’s Quartet books in 1994 has wider significance. The Parisian jeweller was acquired by Asprey in the Spring of 1991. This was during Naim Attallah’s tenure as CEO at the firm.
