Butterfly brooch with translucent enamel

Brooches

Description

Brooch in the shape of a large gold butterfly with translucent enamel in yellow, purple, and orange, set with diamonds. Maker: Rozet und Fischmeister (Vienna).

Austria, circa 1910


Featured in the book *Art Nouveau Jewelry* by Vivienne Becker


 

Located on the Kohlmarkt in the most elegant district of downtown Vienna, the architectural design of the Rozet & Fischmeister store is strongly reminiscent of the Treasury in the Hofburg, the 13th-century former imperial palace in the heart of Vienna. Founded in 1770, Rozet & Fischmeister is one of Vienna’s most famous goldsmiths and silversmiths, now run by the sixth generation. Throughout this time, valuable technical expertise—now rarely practiced—has been passed down. Emperor Franz Joseph, as well as Maria Altmann and the Austrian government, were among their clients. This large butterfly, with its exquisite enamel, diamonds, and ruby-red eyes, was crafted by them around 1901.

Ik ben dol op de eigenaresse. Een zeer sterke en wijze vrouw. Het is een familiebedrijf en ze werkt er al 55 jaar. Ze lijkt in het begin misschien wat afstandelijk, maar ze is erg geduldig en vriendelijk. Ze laat je alles passen, maar dringt er nooit op aan om een beslissing te nemen. We bespraken hoe we mijn ring op maat konden maken; ze had een heel sterk en professioneel advies. Luister gewoon naar haar, je bent in goede handen. Ze hebben een erg mooie collectie en je kunt vertrouwen op hun ervaring.

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

We love this shop. The owner couple is very charming, we bought a few things and I can tell you the prices are very good. They have many beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery and watches. We had a very pleasant shopping experience here. I recommend that you must browse the shop when you visit Amsterdam.

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