Victorian Carved Ivory Brooch of a Young Girl

762L
594 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really well carved large ivory cameo of a young girl with flowers in her hair. It was most likely carved in Dieppe circa 1880. During the 1600s, Dieppe, France was a flourishing seaport and a major commerce centre. The Merchant Prince, D’Ango or the Medici of Dieppe, brought great supplies of elephant tusks from India to the port of Dieppe. The abundance of this material helped to establish Dieppe as a centre known for it’s fine ivory carvings. Even though Dieppe lost its status as a thriving port after the bombardment during the war of 1694 with England, carvings of many intricate pieces, toys, cameos etc, continued to be produced up until the early 20th century. This cameo is a good example of the workmanship and is signed by M.G Souillard.
