Sterling Brooch - Nouveau Lady with Lily Pads
Here is a surreal-looking lady with lily pads in her hair. She is remarkably similar to a piece made by the Unger Bros., but marked only STERLING – and the stamp is reversed! I believe her to be a copy – this seemed to have happened fairly frequently back in the day. She has the patina of age, a pin stem assembly which is correct for the turn of the last century, and the back of the pin has some scratches. It measures 1" x 1-5/8". Overall I would say the piece is in well-loved antique condition, still very wearable, and circa 1900.
