Émile Séraphin Vernier

Émile-Séraphin Vernier (16 October 1852 – 9 September 1927) was a French sculptor, metal worker, engraver and medalist.

[3] Vernier made jewelry for Bapst & Falize (1877–87), Froment-Meurice (1882–85), Vever (1888–92), Sandoz and Fonsèque et Olive.

In 1896–97 the French government gave him a special mission to Cairo to study the work of the antique Egyptian goldsmiths and jewelers.

For his memoir on this subject the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres gave him the prix Delalande-Guerineau.

[3] Vernier joined the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale in Cairo as a jewelry expert.
