Commentary
Nous savons peu de choses de la Loge parisienne de l'Age d'Or. Bésuchet signale dans son Précis qu'elle fut fondée en 1783, ce qui est inscrit sur ce bijou. Ce bijou fut crée en 1821, lorsque la loge accusait alors 38 ans. La demande de constitution le 9 décembre 1783, fut acceptée le 4 février, installation le 16 mars suivant. Reprise d’activité en mars 1802. (

We know little about the Parisian Lodge of the Golden Age. Bésuchet states in his Précis that it was founded in 1783, which is inscribed on this jewel. This jewel was created in 1821, when the lodge was then 38 years old. The request for constitution on December 9, 1783, was accepted on February 4, installation on the following March 16. Resumption of activity in March 1802. (Source: Alain Le BIHAN. Memoirs and documents XIX; Parisian Freemasons of the GODF (end of the 18th century). Unpublished lodge at Labouret

Historical background
FREEMASONRY
The compass and the square are very often associated in an ambivalent symbol of balance: fixity and mobility, passive and active, matter and spirit.. The compass is the tool of the Creator and of the great Architect of the Universe. The spacing of the branches of the compass obeys precise rules and varies according to the three degrees: apprentice, companion, master. The Napoleonic era, in the activity of lodges as in that of many groups, saw a flowering after the terrible years of the revolutionary period. Masonic activity, rid of its republican theories and firmly controlled by a Grand-Master appointed by the Emperor, experienced a vigor in unity never found since.. It is considered that each regiment, each garrison, each city had its Lodge. The testimonies that the sumptuous tokens of the period leave us show that these lodges were rich and influential.. The symbolism is sought after, without comparison with the later eras, which were much more conventional, even bland or destitute at the beginning of the 20th century.. Freemasonry had more than a thousand lodges spread over one hundred and thirty departments and more than sixty thousand Brothers.
