A particularly striking Art Nouveau brooch centred upon a finely cast pewter leaf appliqué, its delicate surface texture rendered in crisp relief. Scrolling gold-plated wirework branches weave around the leaf, carrying small clusters of berries, while one branch curves across its surface and terminates in a single bright rhinestone. The composition is enclosed by a circular frame decorated with a repeating silver-plated pattern, its oxidised recesses providing a dramatic contrast to the luminous central leaf and warm gilded branches. Combining the precision made possible by increasingly refined Belle Époque manufacturing techniques with carefully shaped and assembled ornament, the brooch possesses the distinctive character of high quality workshop production.
The brooch measures 2,8 cm in diameter and features a C-catch on the back to secure the pin in place.
This brooch is in perfect Antique condition! No major visible dents or scratches. The original pin was previously replaced with a smaller, sharper one which is perfect for any type of clothing. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
