FURTHER DETAILS
Henri Picq was among the principal Parisian workshops who supplied jewellery to Cartier in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Picq produced jewels almost exclusively for Cartier and was responsible for creating some of the finest examples of Art Deco jewellery. This dress set was likely converted in the second half of the 20th century from an Art Deco jewel.
