>> the of have you gone irate when i can see you're all quite interested in. very glad to see you ear good afternoon this thing and i'm the occur rapport of the decorative arts him martin chapman and i'm here to introduce tour speaker this evening. amanda is really the powerhouse behind all that goes on with bull before i in the heritage department she's the xoult with the herman collection and she formed the collection. the meaningless pieces of jeweler you'll see upstairs are largely the result of a mademoiselle reach and diligence that people's 3. she's also the great handwriting

for bonus i didn't and she's the one we've depend upon on so much for what we're got in the exhibition. she's really will occur rapport i've been tagging along. and she's also written the lion share of the catalog. so i'm really enjoying working with awe madam and she know really you tell that into mailers context as well as the daily of the individual jewels. so, please join me w in welcoming a madam >> (clapping) >> ladies and gentlemen, it's with great pleasure for me to be here in san francisco for the first time every bully repeal specific in the united states.

and to have the opportunity to speak to you attendant to the art of bully and beyond. now during this talk i would like to illustrate bully achievement in the world of jeweler design and by showing you a few of the many magazine physique jewels on x at the de young museum. now the history goes back 1 hundred and thirty years. my talk focus on a more limited period of time. four exactly of creativity maine from the 1950's to the end of the 1980s. the reason for focusing profiler on this period is that it was during this time that the company began to forge and

develop it's very distinct active some kind of. now for those who are not familiar with bully it's history goes back more than a century when the founder who you see on the screen later italy in his his name was the grandfather of the fattening and vice president of the company settled in rome opening the first store in 1994. now pious business prospered radical and it allowed him to open in 15 years two more shops in rome and a number of subsidies in italy naturally he lives and also seasonal resorts

brood and i can see many of them listed around 1905. now after his death in 1932, the fact that he was skoekd by his two sons when you can see pictured here at the back jury box i don't the first boy was a great jeweler connoisseur and the second to publish the italy silver and jeweler to make his marks. at the beginning of the 1970s of third generations of bully took over the company by johnson i don't see 3 sons you again see here. johnny the latter he would lay off leave the company in 1987.

now from 198 had the envelope of the 3 brothers francis the young gentleman in the center became the ceo of the company acting as president and developing. it's franciss pride not only in having lead bully to become a world luxury contraband by to have long been born one hundred years to the day part of emphasis grandfather's of the founder of bully. in 2011 bully became part of the luxury group. nonetheless they continue to be active within the group.

carl and the other son continue as president and vice president and france sick as ceo of the entire watch division of the group. now surprisingly in the early days one would not find precious jewel as a superior manufacture and sold silver ware. this was virtual following in the family footprints tradition. so titus his father and grandparent had been skilled silver smiths as well as his ancestors who came from a small village in paris and that's in northern greece and albany and they had all been involved in the silver trade and making silver. now, throughout his extensive

network of shops 710 told me solidarity facts of the greek tradition as well as antics. it was only around 1915 they began to difference his stoke to reporter his silver artifacts. this required a lot of capital which led him to focus his activity in only one outlet the number ten store which you see here and it's still the flagship store of burgery worldwide. he began to refresh his other shops leaving them to sobers in

egresses. unfortunately, the documents at this time is very scares this photograph of the shop front in the 1920s provides evidence of the greater emphasis placed on jewels that dominated the whole showcase of the center. now from a stiff lyric point of view those that solid in the 1920s up to the 50s although high in intrinsic value are not recognizable as they follow very closely the fashionable trends. so as i show you here in the 1920s bullyingy created fine decorative art long earrings

that were in voltage at this time as they commencement the hair cut. likewise in the 1930s bold jewelers formed a mat active were much in voltage at that time. and in particular wide brablgz which were worn in stacks and it's not sprirlz that bull writingy created a great number of them as i can see on the screen. now in the 1940s a typical feature they were not mounted in diamonds but in yellow gold of gems used separatelyly. it was not unique to bully

>> it was a universal feature and this was caused by the war were plum, in fact, navigate had been erect shunned in countries so jewelerers were good thing to have gold and make due with a more scarce supply of jemdz. now at the end of the war and a beginning of a decade is where our story bins again. it's the time referred to as las vegas chevy in italy the rough life from the 60s o 50s to the early 60s. after postwar recovery an increasing economic disparity rome became the center of the

international film industry. however, the term butch vet now days has become part of the evoke and seems to be applied to a variety of situations that are not scribble related to rome in the 150s. it's used no reference to eateries as well as hotels and b and bs night clubs and as they discover before boarding my flight to san francisco it's even the name given to airport lounges. now strictly speaking the title is from the film by italian film director starring two italian

actors which doesn't depict a rosey sweet life in rome in those days but a creek of the lack of values of a certain ishlg of folks populated by actors and arrest accuracy and mr. no bodies as well as reportsers one in the film who goes by the surname of popping roots. and surprisingly this has stuck to the point out we refer to the photo reporters as paparazzi but the period maybe reviewed in deed as the sweet life. johnson 0 who you see here

seated in the bull writingy store had taken control of the business in 1932 had managed to props even in the war and was posed to meet new challenges and to seize new business tuntsd offered to them as rome became the hollywood on the tiger. now given the high-level of jewels and gives me at bully at the time and the strategic position of the one and only store in the heart of rome bully became the number one designation of all famous and glamour railways beautiful women continued to expand
