A French Art Deco aquamarine and diamond plaque brooch by Georges Fouquet circa 1925 centrally set with a large mixed cut aquamarine in a triple four claw mount above a stepped architectonic border of old brilliant cut diamonds approximately 3.60 carats total signed G. Fouquet to the reverse and scratch numbered 265 the gallery sides further numbered P490 (partially obscured) with poinon assay marks. For sixty years from 1870 until 1930 three generations of the Fouquet family (Alphonse Georges and Jean) ensured that their creativity kept Maison Fouquet as one of the most influential Parisian ateliers of fine jewellery. Georges Fouquet took the business over in 1895 and created jewels that rivalled those of Henri Vever and Rene Lalique the masters of French Art Nouveau. As fashions changed Georges embraced the Belle ƒpoque and garland styles of the early 20th century whilst combining those styles with the use of large fine coloured stones especially aquamarine. This earned him the title father of aquamarine. Georges continuing standing in the Parisian jewellery world was reflected by his appointment as President of the jewellery section of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs the exhibition that unleashed Art Deco on the world. Georges demanded that the thirty jewellery exhibitors amongst them Vever and Cartier must exhibit only pieces of genuine originality. The brooch offered here reflects both Georges Fouquets penchant for fine aquamarines as well as his understanding of the artistic influences of Cubism and abstract motifs that lie behind the principles of Art Deco jewellery..
