illustration of juxtaposed boar and eagle heads hallmark within an oval frame.

Hallmark of boar and eagle heads juxtaposed in an oval frame. New objects in gold and silver with more than 3% of accessory metal. (For second-hand jewellery in gold with silver, the owl and swan hallmarks are both stamped). The assay office symbol is inscribed between the two emblems. Paris and departments from 1906 to present.

The information on the hallmark of juxtaposed boar and eagle heads and the other hallmark illustrations on this website come from the book Traditional French Jewellery, written by Mike Fieggen, expert in antique jewellery and hallmarks from Osprey Paris. This 300-page book, the definitive reference on French regional jewels and their hallmarks, is available in French and English in our store, on Amazon and at certain bookshops. A complete list of the assay office marks, small secret marks in the hallmarks that allow you to identify in which city an object was hallmarked, as well as a list of the closing dates of the hallmark offices, are included in this book. You can thus, for the first time, locate the origin of the jewels and also date them with more precision.
