Guilloché (Guilloche), is an engraving technique in which a very precise intricate repetitive pattern or design is mechanically etched into an underlying material with fine detail.

Specifically, it involves a technique of engine turning, called guilloché in French after the French engineer “Guillot”, who invented a machine “that could scratch fine patterns and designs on metallic surfaces”.

The machine improved upon the more time-consuming practice of making similar designs by hand, allowing for greater delicacy, precision, and closeness of the line, as well as greater speed.Engine turning machines were first used in the 1500–1600’s on soft materials like ivory and wood and in the 1700’s it was adopted for metal such as gold and silver.

The last machines were manufactured around 1948–1949.


Guilloche describes a narrow instance of guilloche: a design, frequently architectural, using two curved bands that interlace in a pattern around a central space.


The Enamel and Guilloché was used together more late, applied by Peter Carl Fabergé on the Faberge eggs in the 1880’s by first time. So it means that until Fabergé, mix this two techniques they were applied separate.

So this compacts are from after 1880 with this technique, so is very collectible and value.

Is an Evans gilt mesh, white enamel gilloche with painted flowers.

Has mirror and a vanity bag with powder compartments, c. 1940 - 1950s.

Valued: $150 dollars.

_________________________________________

Guilloché (Guilloche), es una técnica de grabado donde un patrón repetitivo o diseño es grabado mecanicamente en un material con gran detalle.

En concreto, se trata de una técnica de giro del motor, llamado guilloché en francés porque fue inventado por un ingeniero francés "Guillot", que inventó una máquina "que pueda rayar patrones finos y los diseños en las superficies metálicas".

La máquina fue mejorada sobre la práctica un tiempo más tarde para hacer diseños similares con la mano, dándole más delicadeza, precisió al los trabajos y el grabado de las líneas más cercanas una de otra, así como con una mayor velocidad.

Este motor de las máquinas de torneado se utilizó por primera vez en el 1500-1600 en materiales blandos como el marfil y madera y en el 1700, se adoptó para los metales como el oro y la plata.

Las máquinas fueron fabricadas por última vez alrededor de 1948-1949.

Guilloche describe un diseño, con frecuencia de arquitectura, con dos bandas de curvas que se entrelazan en un patrón en torno a un espacio central.

El esmalte y Guilloché se utilizó a más tarde, aplicado por Peter Carl Fabergé en los huevos de Fabergé en la década de 1880 por primera vez.

Por lo tanto, significa que hasta que Fabergé no mezcló estas dos técnicas, éstas se aplicaron por separado.

Así que este compacto es de después de 1880 con esta técnica y es muy coleccionable y valioso.

Es un compacto de Evans Company con malla dorada y bolsa para guardar los polvos de maquillaje.

La tapa que contiene un espejo esta realizada en Guilloche esmaltado con flores de rosas.

Es de los años 1940 a 1950.

Valorado: 150 dólares.
