This wonderful late Victorian brooch comes directly from the floral Art Nouveau period and is made in 18 karat solid yellow gold. This antique brooch features an elegant scolls, leafs and floral shapes. In the center of this flower themed brooch we see a small but very elegant pearl. The safety pin itself is marked with a makers mark and stays in place inside a C-clasp which is in turn marked with a French eagle head. Did you know that these pins are much longer than modern pins because the fabric of clothes used to be much ticker? The C clasp on this brooch has been repaired by the previous owner with a more white solder. The brooch itself discoloured a bit because of heating on the side of the C clasp, as visible in the pictures.
It would not surprise you that we love everything about this thin, light, floral jewel. We like the fact that the brooch is well decorated, we love the many little but breathtaking details and the lovely scrolls which are the subject of this brooch.
