I am trying to research this piece for a friend.
It's 18K and French but I cannot find this maker's mark.
Can anyone help?
And here's the box:
Help with a French gold maker
Re: Help with a French gold maker
I believe this maker is Leon Tournan. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a picture of his mark? Or any biography information?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm also finding works by Louis Tronquoy. Is this possibly the maker?

Hi Zilver2
may I ask you for clarification
La bijouterie fantaisie en doublé
As far as I know it should mean: Fancy jewelery in plated metal.
Why there is the hallmark of Hippocrates, for the solid gold?
Thank for attention
Amena
