Murat blue enamel and gold vintage cufflinks

From the Murat & Cie design house in Paris, these sleek cufflinks reflect all the quality associated with Murat. They date from around the 1960s and are in excellent vintage condition.

The round faces feature bands of deep blue enamel in a gold filled frame. They are stamped on the reverse with Murat and the Murat & Cie logo and measure 15 mm across. An elgonated three-link chain connects the faces.

La Maison Murat was founded in Paris by Charles Murat in the mid 1800s and became one of the largest employers in the French jewellery trade. Murat patented a technique known as ‘doublé or’ where high content gold was applied to fine quality jewellery and artefacts at less cost, so appealing to a wider market. La Maison Murat passed through several generations before becoming Murat & Cie in the early 20th Century. The company’s reputation for  high quality ensured an  enthusiastic following which endures to this day.
