Lot Essay

Made by Georges le Saché (b. 1849), who worked for Boucheron as a jeweller between 1887 and 1920, creating objects such as inkstands, bottles, watches and boxes, such as the one illustrated above. His name was one of a select group of principal Boucheron jewellers chosen by Frédéric Boucheron to be featured at the 'Exposition Universelle de Paris' in 1900.
