Description
From the Collection of Princess Clémentine of Orléans, Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Kohary (1817-1907)
Diamond bandeau, circa 1840
The curved base supporting a slightly graduated row of lozenges alternating with bars, set throughout with cushion-shaped diamonds, inner circumference approximately 500mm, inner circumference adjustable, three small diamonds deficient, fitting missing.
Princess Clémentine of Orléans, Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Kohary (1817-1907)
Clémentine of Orléans owned a ruby and diamond parure incorporating the same lozenge motif as featured in this bandeau. This similarity, as well as the curvature of the base typical for French tiaras produced during the 1820s-1840s, makes an attribution to the collection of Clémentine of Orléans highly likely.
