Visually arresting design combining repousse with brilliant enamel work.  Margot’s extraordinary counterpoint of sparkling gold enamel frames organically curving fronds in deep repousse, precisely balanced against a severe geometric square to create a classic, feminine elegance.  Margot’s enamellists painstakingly laid many layers of color to create an intensity and depth of color unmatched by other workshops.  This piece glows with the imagination and artistry that makes Margot’s enamel sought by mid-20th century celebrities and 21st century collectors.
