Vintage Renoir Copper Cuff Bracelet – Early Mark “Handmade by Renoir of California” – Modernist Coil Design
Beautiful early vintage Renoir of California copper cuff bracelet featuring the iconic sculptural coil design wrapped over a glossy black enamel center. This piece carries the early long-form signature “Handmade by Renoir of California,” used only in the late 1940s through early 1950s, making it a desirable find for collectors.
The bracelet is crafted from solid copper, not plated, with the original warm copper finish on the exterior. The interior shows the natural aged patina typical of unsealed copper used by Renoir during this period. The bold spiral front is formed from individually shaped copper loops, giving the piece a strong mid-century modernist presence.
