Emblematic of the House of Hermès, this ‘Chaîne d’ancre’ necklace bears not only the hand-engraved signature but also the master’s mark of Gaëtan de Percin. Having worked in Georges Lenfant’s workshop and as a subcontractor for Lacloche, Percin specialised in silverwork and established his own workshop in 1938 with the aim of collaborating with Robert Dumas, then the third generation at the helm of Hermès. From this partnership between Dumas’s love of the maritime world and Percin’s craftsmanship, the first collection of silver jewellery was born.
