OLD C[O|SONNE
ENAMELS
RARE
French Have Virtually Disap.
peared From Shops-Some
From Orient Found.

Genuine pieces Of old French
Cloisonne enamels are very seldom
found in any collection, and 1t is
safe to say that they are never
found in antique or curio shops.
There are beautiful old Chinese
cloisonne articles to be found now
and then, the modern Japanese
product, even though brilliant and
lustrous in color, being much in
ferior in artistic conception as well
as workmanship.
Cloisonne enamels are generally
small, extremely rare and valuable.
The mode Of making them, accord
ing to M. Labarte, is as follows:
1.-THE plate Of metal intended as
foundation was first provided with
a little rim to retain the enamel:
Slender strips Of gold Of the same
depth as the rim were then fixed,
upright, upon the plate. The in.
spaces were filled with the
different enamels, reduced to fine
powder and moistened into a paste.
The piece was then placed in. the
furnace, and when the fusion was
complete, was withdrawn with Ger.
tain precautions that the cooling
might be effected gradually. The
enamel when thoroughly cold was
ground and polished. The old artists
must have used very pure gold and
extremely fusible enamels, in or.
der that the plate might not be
inju, ed from the action Of the fire,
or the thin strips Of metal be
melted by the heat which fued the
PASTE"
There is kind Of cloisonne
enamel even more rare than the
process just mentioned. It is the
enamel de plique a jour-" and
was made without a background,
initiating transparent stones or the
glass panes In window tracery, set
clear and melted in the framework
or compartments Of network Of
gold.
The art Of enameling is of very
early date. A similar mode Of dec.
Grafton was employed by the old
Egyptians who greatly loved bril-.
liant coloring. They cemented into
gold cells small pieces Of glass or
precious stones carefully shaped:
but they did not seem to have been
acquainted with the art OF flung
the several PARTS.
The Chinese hlso practised the art
OF enameling for very long and the
Greeks and Etruscans used enamel
to enrich their jewelry. The west.
ern nations Of Europe carried the
are of enameling to a very high
perfection from the ninth TO the
sixteenth century.
