Butterfly brooch with translucent enamel

Brooches

Description

Large gold Art Nouveau butterfly brooch with translucent ( plique-a-jour ) enamel in yellow, purple and orange. Set with diamonds. Signed Rosette und Fischmeister, Vienna.

Austria, ca. 1901

See the book Art Nouveau Jewelry by Vivienne Becker, image 178.

Located on the Kohlmarkt in the most elegant district of central Vienna, the architectural design of the Rozet & Fischmeister store is strongly reminiscent of the Treasury in the Hofburg, the 13th century former main imperial palace in central Vienna. Rozet & Fischmeister was founded in 1770 and is one of Vienna's most famous gold and silversmiths, now run by its sixth generation. All this time valuable technical expertise has been passed on that is no longer common. Emperor Franz Joseph, but also Maria Altmann and the state of Austria were clients. This large butterfly, with its beautiful enamel, diamonds and ruby ​​red eyes, was made by them around 1901.

Love the owner. Very strong and wise lady. Family owned shop, and she has been working there 55 years. She seems cold at the beginning but she’s really patient and friendly, allow you to try everything but never push you to make a decision. We discussed how to change the size of my ring, she had really strong and professional opinion, just listen to her , you are in good hand. Very very nice collections and you can trust their experiences.

I visited the shop June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never the compulsion to buy, customer friendliness and knowledge at its best! By the way, I'm not related.
