Authenticated Vintage Chanel Jewelry
A Chanel brooch from the 1980s is not a piece of jewelry. It is a document. It bears the signature of an era, a workshop, and a woman who wore it before you. At Françoise Montague, we select these pieces one by one from private sales and Parisian estates, and authenticate them before offering them.
Our perspective on the Chanel archive
Chanel costume jewelry has spanned seven decades without ever losing its intensity. From Robert Goossens sautoirs to the enamelled camellias of the 1990s, each piece is a fragment of history. We favor identifiable editions, marked pieces, and references with a high rarity index.
Authentication at the heart of the process
No piece enters our selection without expert evaluation. We check the markings, consistent oxidation, the construction of the clasp, and the weight of the metal. Each acquisition comes with a provenance note and a Françoise Montague certificate of authenticity.
Who is it for?
For those who build a wardrobe of designer pieces, recognize a Chanel sautoir from across a room, and seek the confidential Paris address where these treasures can be found without the crowds of major resale sites. Our tax-free shopping service is available in-store for our international clientele.
