Founded in Paris in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron, Boucheron established a reputation as one of the great houses of French jewellery, renowned for combining technical virtuosity with imaginative and often highly naturalistic design. Throughout the twentieth century the firm drew particular inspiration from the natural world, producing an extensive menagerie of birds, animals and insects rendered with remarkable character and elegance.
