"L'Orfevrerie Genevoise au 15e Siecle et la Maison de Savoie" by Eugene Jaquet - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1944 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in French.

The opening sentences of the article are:

"Il est impossible de dire a quelle epoque l'orfevrerie a ete indroduite a Geneve. Nous avons deja vu que si nous voulions determiner les debuts de cet art nous devrions chercher parmi les objets retrouves sur les emplacements de la cite lacustre. La decouverte de moules et de lingots de cuivre et d'etain provenant de plusieurs fonderies de bronze, dont l'une pres de la Pierre du Niton, prouve que ces objets ont ete faits sur place."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]

The article is 6 pages in length (on 3 sheets of paper). Text is in French.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.

(A rough English translation of the title of the article might be: The 15th Century Genevoise Goldsmiths of the House of Savoy.")
