A silver ‘Chaîne d’Ancre’ bracelet by Hermès, with T-bar terminal, signed, French assay mark, maker’s case, length 22cm. £600-£800 --- The Chaîne d’Ancre (anchor chain) was designed in 1937 by Robert Dumas, Creative Director at the family-run French jewel house Hermès, and inspired by Dumas’ sketches of anchor chains on the Normandy coast. Dumas insisted the bracelet should be fashioned in silver, however, traditional French workshops deemed the use of silver to be beneath the fine jewellery standards of platinum and gold. The master silversmith Gaëtan de Percin, who had set up his own workshops in Paris in 1938, having previously worked for Georges Lenfant, agreed to execute this design for Dumas. The ‘Chaîne d’ancre’ was to become one of the most famous and enduring signature designs of Hermès. Condition Report General surface wear.
