THE
MET

Night Owl Pin
Our whimsical avian pin celebrates a 19th-
century jewelry design from the House of
Robin. Established in 1824 by Jean-Paul
Robin, the jeweler captivated the fashion
world with his bijoux sportifs, designs of
simple shape and fluid line in matte finish
that could be worn in casual circumstances
rather than at formal occasions.

In 1843, his son Prospère-Paul took over.
Interlacing historic and romantic themes
with motifs from nature, the jewelry he called
fantaisies attained even greater popularity.
These striking designs from the House of
Robin deeply influenced jewelers of the 19th
and 20th centuries.

Produced in cooperation with the Musée des Arts
décoratifs, Paris

Our Core Values

More than 50 years ago, our founder, Art Arbutine, began offering rare coins at select shows and markets, while Pat Arbutine, Art's wife, cultivated a discerning eye for estate silver. From these humble beginnings, a legacy was born—rooted in a commitment to honesty, integrity and reliability.

Today, we continue to serve our clients with the same principles that guided us from the start. We curate heritage-quality pieces designed to elevate refined interiors and discerning lifestyles, always with a deep respect for craftsmanship, history, and trust.
