Catalogue Note
Julien Paimbault was a French goldsmith from the town of Saint-Amand-Montrond in the Loire valley, famed for its jewellery industry. He trained at the prominent local atelier established by the jeweller Charles-Auguste Moricault in 1888 before establishing his own jewellery business in the town in the interwar period. He subsequently moved to 72, rue des Archives, Paris, where he specialised in chain making, particularly in the contemporary 'tank' style.
