I have a arts and crafts style brooch...French hallmarks of the boar's head and a diamond, the name "Gardey" is stamped also..any idea who this may be?

Hi,

There is a french silversmith whose name is Léo Gardey who could be the author of your brooch. His data are as follows:

Name: Gardey
Surname: Léo
Initials: L.G.
Profession: Ciseleur
Working place: 75 Paris
Workshop address: 13 rue Greneta
Warranty number: C2283
Prefecture number: 14647
Date registered: 2 april 1914
Symbols: two crossing torches

You should check your diamond mark with his registered maker's mark :

Is it the same ?

Hope this helps.
