Superb Art Deco Sterling Onyx and Marcasite Brooch
Based on the Edwardian influence apparent in its restrained size and openwork pattern, this lovely silver brooch appears to date from early in the Art Deco period (circa 1920-15). It's an extremely high quality piece, quite weighty for its size and set with rows and rows of sparkling marcasites around a highly polished central black stone (which I believe is natural jet or onyx). In exquisite condition, this dainty pin measures about 1 1/2" wide by a little more than 3/4" tall. It came from the estate of an elderly Englishwoman but is probably French, since England hadn't then gone metric and the Continental dimensions are a straightforward 3.5 cm by 2 cm.
