Subtlety and Art Nouveau don't ordinarily go together, but here's a splendid exception. This restrained and yet characteristically Nouveau jewel is lavished with floral repousse work, but holds excesses within the bounds of a bar pin, slender and 2 inches long. Notice the finely wrought clasp is engraved to match the front -- a particularly elegant touch.
This beauty is hallmarked for sterling and retains quite a bit of age patina, which can easily be polished off if you prefer a high shine. Dating would be no later than the 1890s, based on the type of fastener; origin is most likely American; and condition, as you see, is superb. Obviously the brooch is entirely hand-made. There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
