Guillemette L'Hoir Paris Attributed Marbled Mauve Cream Rhodoid Asymmetrical Sculpted Rectangular Pierced Earrings François Schoenlaub
Materials and Features:
Artisan "Puzzle-Inlay" Lamination: A masterclass in subtractive studio engineering. This features a marbled mauve Rhodoid corner hand-fitted into a precisely carved cream base. The "Lock-and-Key" fit is evidenced by the microscopic structural shadow line visible beneath the seamless surface glaze.
Asymmetrical 4-Point Geometry: Carved from a substantial 4mm block with a specialized "Diagonal-Wobble" profile. One diagonal axis measures 3mm while the opposing diagonal measures 2mm, creating a dynamic, stealth-sculpted silhouette that prevents the oversized rectangle from sitting flat against the lobe.
Sedimentary Pigment Drift: The marbled mauve segment exhibits "pigment settling" on the reverse side—an archival diagnostic marker of authentic, slow-baked vintage Rhodoid (cellulose acetate) where heavy purple pigments concentrated during the thermal curing process.
High-Density Studio Resonance: Boasting a 6.2g weight, these utilize high-molecular-weight thermoset material, offering a premium "marble-clank" density and a liquid-luster finish that modern acrylic cannot replicate.
Archival "Clotted Cream" Base: The opaque cream base exhibits a sophisticated off-white warmth, a hallmark of the 1970s Parisian Modernist color palette.
Type: Pierced earrings with low-profile archival stabilizer pads
Age/Origin: Circa 1978 / Paris, France
Marks: Unmarked (Attributed to Guillemette L'Hoir/François Schoenlaub based on specialized puzzle-inlay architecture, asymmetrical tapering, and sedimentary pigment DNA)
Measurements:
Weight: 6.2g
Thickness: 4mm (Center) / 3mm and 2mm (Asymmetrical Tapered Corners)
