John Paul Cooper "The Kingfisher" Arts & Crafts Necklace

About the Item

Illustrated in our book: Beatriz Chadour-Sampson & Sonya Newell-Smith, Tadema Gallery London Jewellery from the 1860s to 1960s, Arnoldsche Art Publishers, Stuttgart 2021, cat. no. 430 ‘The Kingfisher’ is a rare and early example of Cooper going back to the roots of Medieval jewellery and re-interpreting late Roman and Byzantine jewels to create this unique design and superb necklace. Characteristic of his work is the use of 15 carat gold which he preferred because of the richness of the colour, rather than following the ideology of his contemporaries who worked mainly in silver, cf. Vivienne Becker, Art Nouveau Jewelry, London 2010, pp. 155 f. Exhibited: Arts & Crafts Exhibition, Grafton Galleries 1906 Documented in John Paul Cooper sketch-book no. 239 The Kingfisher detail no. 196

It differs slightly from the finished necklace but pencil annotations on the sketch show the addition of the rubies and confirm that the opals belonged to the client. We feel this piece can easily hold its place alongside the other great Artificers’ Guild jewels by Edward Spencer...
