Rare Vintage Renoir Copper Abstract Hinged Rhythm Cuff Bracelet Jerry Fels circa 1950’s / Matisse Ltd.
Vintage Renoir Copper Abstract Hinged Rhythm Cuff Bracelet Jerry Fels circa 1950’s / Matisse Ltd.
Art-iques.com….Jerry Fels was part of the evolving movement which became to be known as the ‘California Lifestyle'. He established his company Renoir of California in Los Angeles in 1946, specializing in coppery jewelry of geometric abstract forms. Copper was the popular choice for early 20th century Arts & Crafts metalworkers. With members of his family he went on to found another important name in 20th century costume jewelry, Matisse Ltd in 1952. Matisse jewelry was also made of copper, but had the added sparkle of enamel decoration to the surface, taking the jewelry in a new direction.
Although the company was famous for its jewelry made in both copper and copper & enamel and was worn by film stars of the day such as Lana Turner, both Renoir and Matisse companies ceased trading in 1964 as fashions changed and demand was no longer there. Renoir & Matisse jewelry are examples of the prolific and eclectic design genius of Jerry Fels and his designers. Each piece is a miniature work of brilliant sculptural art.
With all that in mind….geometric and abstract certainly describes this lovely bracelet – it looks as if ripples in the water have come to meet!! This free-spirited design is set on a hinge that allows some flexibility in wrist size – although it does appear to be better suited for a smaller wrist.
The bracelet is roughly 55 years old and is in remarkably wonderful condition! It has only received a very light cleaning to look this wonderful! The marker’s stamp is visible on the hinge, so you are sure you are receiving the genuine article. Closed it measures 7” in circumference, the hinge width is 7/8” and the loops (front of the piece) are 1-1/2” wide. Copper is still very bright and shiny with little wear to the finish of the protective coating.
Whether for the new collector or the connoisseur, this beautiful bracelet will be a lovely addition to your vintage jewelry collection!!
