Help with maker on these enamel frames

Post by chelsea98 »

Hi,

I wonder if someone could identify the maker for me on this brother and sister pair of enamel frames. Both with G G in a diamond and what looks like a pineapple between the initials.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Possibly the mark of Gustave Godard dit De la Roche Lambert who registered a 'flaming heart' between 'G G'.

Wait for some better qualified to confirm/deny.

Are there no other marks?

Hi Trev,

Many thanks for that. They have the boars head marks as well. Maybe these images are better. Now that I look at it, it might even be C G, though I can't be sure of the symbol between them.

Thanks again.

Hello
Believe this to be the mark of Charles Grappe, working in Paris at 16 rue Michel-le-Comte.
Initials CG, symbol a bunch of grapes (une grappe de raisin). Grappe registered 28 February 1905, erased 25 May 1923.
See the French Ministry of Culture website.
