Catalogue Note
The house of Verger was originally founded by Ferdinand Verger (1851-1928), the name changing to ‘Verger Frères’ in 1911 when the business was taken over by his sons Georges and Henri. Known for their distinctive designs, the house often sold their creations onto some of the greatest jewellery houses of the time.
