Falize
The House of Falize: For the Love of Enamel and Jewelry
Founded in 1840 in Paris by Alexis Falize, the House of Falize is a dynasty of jewelers renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship. Alexis Falize, famous for his drawing skills, quickly gained a reputation as a supplier to the greatest jewelers of his time. His inspiration came from various art historical periods, such as Antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as from nature, allowing him to create luxury jewelry of unparalleled quality.
The Innovation of Enamel
In the early 1860s, in collaboration with the enameler Antoine Tard, Alexis Falize introduced enamel into his creations, a specialty that would become emblematic of the house. This innovative technique marked a turning point in jewelry, bringing a richness of colors and details to the pieces created.
The Legacy of Lucien Falize
After Alexis stepped back, his son Lucien Falize took over the company. Japanese art, discovered during the World Expositions of 1862 and 1867 in London and Paris, became a major source of inspiration for him. His creations incorporated elements of Japanese art, further enriching the stylistic repertoire of the House of Falize.
Neo-Gothic and Neo-Antique Jewelry
The House of Falize established itself as a pioneer of Art Nouveau. Its works, displayed at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, testify to this era with pieces of silverware, art objects, and jewelry adorned with extraordinary motifs. The creations include black enamel and pearls, as well as designs inspired by Far Eastern ornaments, offering a unique stylistic diversity.
