Silver, E. Dropsy (1848-1923) - Maison Savard - Art Nouveau - France - Brooch

Beautiful antique silver Art Nouveau brooch by the French designer Jean-Baptiste Emile Dropsy (1848-1923). Emile Dropsy was a prominent French Art Nouveau designer and engraver who worked closely with Maison Savard at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century. He was a specialized designer hired by Auguste Savard to create aesthetic designs for religious medals, pendants, and jewelry. Auguste Savard took over the company in 1893 from his father and recruited top designers, including Tairac, Emile Dropsy, and Becker. The design is known as "La Dame aux Iris" (The Woman with the Irises). It depicts the profile of a young woman with her hair up in the typical Gibson Girl style, surrounded by stylized irises. This reflects the flowing, organic forms that are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement around 1900. Featuring the silver mark “Tete de Sanglier” and the master mark “Maison Savard”. Signed “E. Dropsy”. Diameter of the brooch is 2.1 cm Weight is 2.59 grams. After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I want these special objects to find a place with a new owner who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so they are preserved for the distant future as well. I will ensure meticulous packaging and insured shipping. Photos are part of the description.
