AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare Monet “Golden Key” brooch, 1968 model from the Golden Key Series collection, documented in the reference work devoted to the creations of the Monet house.

This brooch depicts an ancient key with an elaborately ornamental design. Its openwork head features symmetric scrolls, topped by a small decorative sphere. The elongated stem combines several textures: a finely granulated surface, raised rings, and a stylized geometric end.

The Golden Key collection, launched in 1968, also included a key pendant necklace and miniature earrings. The necklace model is reproduced and dated 1968 in Monet’s historical documentation.

Seller's Story

Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together. It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another. The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value. We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge: — Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues. — Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time. Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
