Vintage Renoir Bracelet Pure Copper Bangle Signed Arts & Crafts 25 grams MCM

Renoir Bracelet Pure Copper Bangle Signed 1950-1960's Arts and Crafts Movement Renoir ceased production in 1964 so this is pre-1964. Renoir name was used from 1946 to 1964, while Matisse 1952-1964, Copyright was typically only added to Hallmark after 1955, so I believe this bracelet was made between 1955 and 1964. This bracelet is quite beautiful and seems to be other more rare design from the company . About the finish “When you solder copper, of course it has a black area around it, but they artificially added it for greater visual interest,” says Harwood. “If you buy this jewelry, and it looks like there’s a black shadow on it, don’t polish it off!” Renoir featured a shiny lacquer finish on its pieces. “I wish my father remembered what it was,” says Peter Fels. “He said he had a friend in the Air Force, I think, who was a chemist, and he said they’d had a problem with corrosion and he mixed up a batch of the finish and that’s what they used. Even the modern equivalent is not as good.” The items I sell are between 40-120 years old. They will have signs of wear.
