A delicate Belle-Époque era brooch in white metal, pressed in detailed relief. The fan-shaped design with a crowned ribbon and trailing floral garlands over a finely engine-turned, wavy guilloché ground, is fashioned in typical Louis-XVI revival style, which was a popular motif in central Europe in the years around 1910. This piece would have originally featured vivid translucent enamelwork showing the guilloché underneath, and full gold plating, now mostly lost with faint traces remaining. With the enamel layer now lost, the exposed guilloché reveals both an intricate decorative pattern and a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship behind early 20th-century enamel jewelry.
The brooch measures 3.4 x 2.5 cm
This brooch is in good Antique condition! No major visible dents or scratches. Lack of original enamelwork and gilding as noted. The pin is very sturdy and in full working order. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
