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, 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 for sale.
Our perspective on the Chanel archive
Chanel couture jewelry has spanned seven decades without ever losing its intensity. From Robert Goossens sautoirs to the enamel camellias of the 1990s, each piece is a fragment of history. We favor identifiable editions, marked pieces and references with a high rarity index.
L’authentication at the heart of the process
No piece enters our selection without expert appraisal. We check the markings, consistent oxidation, the workmanship of the clasp and the weight of the metal. Each acquisition comes with a provenance certificate and a Françoise Montague certificate of authenticity.
Who is it for?
For those who put together a wardrobe of designer pieces, recognize a Chanel sautoir across a room, and seek out the confidential Paris address where these treasures can be found without the crowds of major resale sites. Our tax-free service is available in-store for our international clientele.
