Merit Cross for Voluntary Nurses 1870/1871 presented to Queen Amalie Auguste (1854-1873), Wive of King Johanns of Saxony. This cross for the queen is an oversized version and features gold and enamel craftsmanship. Cross comes with beautiful sewn ladies bow. The obverse medallion consists of three parts and a separately applied cypher. The laurel/oak leaf wreath between the arms of the cross is finely chased. The suspension ring features the manufacturer's mark of the Viennese court jeweller Rothe as well as the Austrian gold hallmark (Goat Head). Dimensions 39 x 34 mm. Such special versions of this decoration were usually awarded informally within governing houses and were usually limited to a small circle of recipients. Unique piece and certainly one of the greatest rarities among the Saxon decorations. As an important and meaningful example, this specimen is one of the first awards to recognize volunteer nursing. A particularly meaningful and important piece and worthy of a museum.
