Catalogue Note
Founded in Turin in 1920, we celebrate this fine Abate design as they approach their 100 year anniversary. By 1934 the company had set up a couple of boutiques in San Remo, Italy near the casino there. This rare pre-World War II piece is reminiscent of the Italian Futurism movement, where speed, industry and motion were emphasized. This bracelet, with the many perspectives and movements it provides when worn, is emblematic of this unique time in jewelry design and Italian history.
