Art Nouveau French Gold Fix Joan of Arc "Jehanne" Pin Brooch, Signed Becker
type: Product
description: Description: Striking and symbolic, this Art Nouveau French Gold Fixe pin brooch celebrates Joan of Arc—“Jehanne”—in bold high relief. Her warrior’s profile is framed by her shield, crown and fleurs-de-lis, with the date 1429 in tribute to the pivotal victory at Orléans. The sculptural modelling catches the light beautifully, with polished high points and a rich, time-softened patina in the recesses. The reverse is every bit as considered, depicting Joan’s sacred sword, religious banner and laurel. Signed Becker for Edmond Henri Becker (1871–1971), one of the most prominent French master engravers of the Art Nouveau period, this evocative medallic jewel is a wearable fragment of French history with exquisite artisanal detail. Item Details: ERA: Art Nouveau (1890–1910). MEASUREMENTS: Brooch is 21mm long x 22mm wide. WEIGHT: 3.1g. MATERIALS: Tests as Gold Fixe STAMPS: FIX, Signed Becker. HALLMARKS: Since we have dated this piece as being made before 1950, a hallmark is not required in order for it to be sold in line with UK hallmarking legislation. PACKAGING: Your order will be gift-wrapped free of charge in a Lillicoco cardboard box made from recycled materials, tied with a ribbon. Condition: EXCELLENT: Crisp relief with light, even surface wear to the high points and a pleasing patina in the recesses. The metalwork, hinge and simple catch are in excellent working order. No obvious repairs visible under close inspection.
