Art Nouveau Jewel: The Pendant by L. Coudray

Let's travel back to the golden era of Art Nouveau, to a time when art and design united in a flowing harmony. Here, in the historic streets of Paris, the medallist and sculptor Marie-Alexandre-Lucien Coudray was at the zenith of his art. A gifted student of the École des Beaux-Arts, Coudray's skills not only earned him the prestigious Prix de Rome but also secured his place in the annals of art history.

This exclusive white bronze pendant from the 1900 World's Fair in Paris is a testament to Coudray's inimitable talent and masterful skills. A work of art that captures the essence of its time and yet remains timeless.

On the front of this pendant, Orpheus, the legendary poet and musician of Greek mythology, is depicted in impressive relief. His laurelised bust, a reminder of his heroic adventure in the underworld, is perfectly complemented by the delicate lyre in his hand. The detail and depth of this image reflect Coudray's ability to capture emotion and story in metal.

The reverse of the pendant features a winged genius, a symbol of inspiration and creativity, proudly holding a feather and trumpet. His gaze is directed backwards, as if reminiscing about times gone by. Below him, a stringed instrument that complements Orpheus' musicality and passion.

Signed by L. Coudray, this pendant is not only a piece of jewellery, but a piece of history. An echo of a bygone era, it reflects the spirit of Art Nouveau and the legacy of one of France's greatest artists.

Whether you are a collector of art objects or simply want to own a piece of history, this white bronze pendant is sure to impress everyone who sees it. It is more than just a piece of jewellery - it is a tribute to the art and talent of a great master. Note: Sold without a chain.
