A MULTI-GEM AND ENAMEL BIRD BROOCH / PENDANT, GIULIANO FOR SIR EDWARD BURNE-JONES Circular cabochon-cut ruby, coral and turquoise, half pearls, red and green enamel, brooch and suspension loop mounted on folding bar fittings, gold, circa 1896, 4.0 cm, designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and signed C&AG in an impressed oval for Carlo and Arthur Giuliano, green velvet Giuliano case
A small number of iterations of this brooch are known to exist, one of which belonged to Margaret Burne-Jones, daughter of Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and currently resides in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum (likely to be the very same jewel illustrated in the book written by Charlotte Gere and Geoffrey Munn which was given on loan for a travelling exhibition entitled Edward Burne-Jones, Victorian Artist-Dreamer from 1998-1999). Another belonged to Laura Tennant who was an acquaintance of Burne-Jones and sat as subject for many of his portraits, and a third is said to have belonged to the art critic Harry Quilter which was sold at auction in London in 1990.
