- Text from catalogue of the Hull Grundy Gift (Gere et al) no. 1162:
It is apparent that this Art Nouveau style of medallic jewellery remained popular for many years; cravat-pins and brooches like 1158, 1159, 1160 and 1162 are still included in the catalogue dated 1926 which was issued in Paris by the Syndicat 'Orla' (see Fig. 115). (Charlotte Gere).
