Patina Highlights the Brooches of Claude Chavent

Imagine a three-dimensional object that you can seamlessly wear. Or a golden bowl you can adorn as a brooch… Beyond your imagination, the reality is that all of these are brilliant exercises in trompe l’oeil goldsmithing. They are tricks on the eye, created not in paint, but in precious metals that are expertly fused to create the illusion of depth. These are works of legendary French artist Claude Chavent.
