Plisson et Hartz were an important firm working in Paris during the late 19th Century. They are well known for their novel designs as well as the high quality of their craftsmanship. Plisson collaborated with Hartz between 1898 and 1904. Examples of their work are illustrated in Henri Vever’s ‘La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle.’
