Lot 1412
A pair of bronze Caducei, the central stem entwined with snakes, surmounted with a pair of wings, 64cm long. Ancient Greeks created the caduceus as a badge of honour; ambassadors and noblemen carried a long staff entwined with garlands or ribbons to announce their presence. The garlands were later interpreted as snakes and a pair of wings was added to denote Hermes, the winged messenger and symbol of peace.

FREDERIC DE VERNON: AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY FRENCH MEDALLION PENDANT of oval form, moulded in relief to the centre with the praying Madonna, a row of rose-cut diamonds forming her halo, against a graduating blue translucent plique a jour enamel background and enclosed by 31 calibre-cut sapphires, signed "F. Vernon" and numbered 629, with a diamond-set pendant hanger, 2½", and a 9ct yellow gold curb chain, 24". See illustration. Provenance: H.S.H. The Princess Romanov and Vsevolode. Frederic de Vernon (1858-1912) is most known as a French medallist. He produced the French Olympic bronze medals in 1900. When Cartier set up their design studio in 1906 in Rue de la Paix, Paris, Alfred Cartier purchased a number of religious medallions made by Frederic de Vernon and produced by Felix du Val. This may be one such example. The most famous of his works is a thimble offered to Queen Wilhelmine by President Kruger of South Africa for her wedding.
