WIESE_x000D_ Beautiful brooch in 18k (750 thousandths) yellow gold richly worked with an angel's head and two birds in a decoration of foliage and foliage. _x000D_ Signed "Wiese", master stamp.x000D_ Length: approx. 4.3 cm_x000D_ Gross weight: 36.4 g._x000D_ The goldsmith Jules Wiese (1818-1890) is the master of the neo-gothic style, but here he reveals his mastery of the neo-renaissance style by reproducing an architectural motif, such as can be found on a pediment. As usual, he uses solid, heavy gold, chiselling, hammering and shaping it. A solid side fills the forms with lightness, the jewel is obviously signed in gothic letters.
