A RARE OTTOMAN EMPIRE EGYPT JUDGE'S BADGE BY FROMENT-MEURICE

This unique badge was chartered by the Khedive of Egypt, Abbas II Hilmi Bey, the last Khedive of Egypt and Sudan in the late 19th century. Emile Froment-Meurice was commissioned to design the Badge. He was the most famous jeweler in Paris at the time. During this time, Egypt was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire and did not have its own orders, therefore this badge symbolizes the former order system in Egypt. The small circular 'medallion' at the bottom of the badge bears the Ottoman Tughra and resembles the Order of Medjidie. Imposing silver plate, gilt, and black enamel, with a shining sun, a royal coat which is surmounted by the Royal Egyptian crown. On the mantle and behind the double table of the Act, surrounded by a branch of oak and laurel, crossed a hand of justice and a scepter surmounted by a crescent, each decorated with a tough (ponytail, badge dignity pashas); on the top, a five-pointed star shines, and following is a jewel of the order of Medjidié bearing tughra the Ottoman sultan. The double table, legend in Arabic, engraved and enameled black means: Justice is the prerogative of royalty. Manufacturing silversmith Emile Froment-Meurice, with its hallmark. France, late 19 century. Weight: 5.9 oz., 168 gr.
