Victorian Egyptian Revival Enamel & Old Cut Diamond 18kt Gold Scarab Brooch (from a private English collection) There is a long-standing tradition of revival jewellery, with jewellers and silversmiths interpreting and adapting the styles and motifs of earlier periods for contemporary audiences. The styles which have seen widespread revival are numerous, from Celtic, to Etruscan, to Renaissance, but none enjoyed such long-lasting popularity as Egyptian revival jewellery. Egyptian motifs first found their way into jewellery and design at the end of the eighteenth century, after Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt and Syria, during which the Rosetta stone was discovered and the discipline of Egyptology created. Egyptian revival jewellery, however, didn’t really take hold until the mid-nineteenth century, triggered initially by the discovery of the jewellery of Queen Ah-Hopte, in 1859, and further established with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1867, which put Egypt firmly in the public notice. According to the jeweller and writer Henri Vever (1853-1942), almost every maker showing at the Paris Exhibition in 1867 had pieces containing, or inspired by, Egyptian decoration. The earlier, Victorian Egyptian revival jewellery of the 1860s and 1870s was primarily made in gold, in keeping with the archaeological manner popular at the time, and jewellers tended to focus on adapting Egyptian motifs to fit Victorian style jewellery. Thus scarabs, sphinx and ram’s head motifs are found on the heavy gold shield shaped brooch and earring suites typical of the time, and similar motifs rendered in micro mosaic. 10.9 grams, measuring 5cm in length, with antique jeweler's presentation box. One of the finest examples of Egyptian revival jewellery. Old cut diamonds bright and lively, set in gold decorated with enameled twin snakes, wings & Nile river lotuses.
