A cast gold stickpin by Wièse, French, late 19th century, modelled as the head of the ancient Greek god Pan, with bloomed finish, the terminal signed ‘WIESE’, the pin with lozenge maker’s mark, (WIESE with star above and below) and French assay mark, length 7.8cm. £500-£700

In 1890, Louis Wièse registered his own maker’s mark, (distinct from his father Jules’s earlier maker’s mark), the new mark showed the name ‘WIESE’ with a star above and below, in a horizontal lozenge, as seen on this stickpin.
