Antique Art Nouveau Lady with Pearl Ring
About the Item
Art Nouveau Lady with Pearl Ring
France or Belgium, c. 1900
Gold, pearl
Weight 11.2 gr., US size 5.5, UK size L
This sculptural gold ring is cast and chased. The hoop is rounded and polished on the inside and, on the outside, strongly convex with a textured surface. Forming the bezel, a nude female figure stands on a cultured pearl, clasping drapery in her up- and outstretched hands so that it cascades down her back. A sense of movement is almost palpable in this figure of a standing woman. Here, the sculpture extends dramatically outward, spanning much of the finger in a manner that recalls the Bronze Age spiral and Hellenistic amphora rings. This ring stands apart from these earlier examples in its vitality and its celebration of the female form, evoking the statuesque splendor of Botticelli’s Venus.

Raphael Esmerian, Paris and New York (1903-1976).

- Antique Gold French Art Nouveau RingLocated in Chicago, ILART NOUVEAU OPHELIA RING France, 1909 Gold Weight 11.5 gr., US size 7.25, UK size O ½ This sculptural ring is made of cast and finely chased gold. The hoop widens and merges into the bezel. The shoulders are subtly molded with entwined twigs and foliage which encircle a female head in high relief. The woman is depicted with her eyes almost shut and with a water lily to one side of her forehead. The hoop itself is plain inside and, on the outside, its polished surface has an engraved inscription in French: “11 Mars 1909.” On the bottom of the exterior of the hoop is a lozenge-shaped French maker’s mark that can no longer be deciphered. There is also a French warranty mark for gold in the form of an eagle facing right and the mark “DEPOSE,” signifying that it is a registered design. This high-quality rendering of a woman’s head compares in its detail with large bronze sculptures of the period by Alphonse Maria Mucha and the French sculptors Maurice Bouval or Léopold Savine...Category
