The crafts of watchmaking and jewelery


When the conscientious worker, be he a jeweler, engraver or setter, is faced with an unexpected difficulty to overcome, he does not have the documentary resources available to performers in many artistic professions, and c This is what led Léon Verleye to publish this work for the use of jewellers, creators and restorers.

This work is the complete reissue of the book by Léon Verleye published around 1910 in Paris by the Centrale des Sciences bookstore in the collection: Les Arts du Métal under the full title: La gravure, la ciselure, le modeling (moulding, cast iron, reduction, etching, niello, damascene, guilloche, enamel, patinas, decorations, coats of arms, monograms) and illustrated with numerous figures in the text and inserts.
