AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful large silver 1920s-30s Art Deco brooch in the shape of a 'Cigale' (night fly).
Unnoticed but tested on silver. Note: La Cigale is a creature full of symbolism: recurring themes include resurrection, immortality, spiritual realization, and spiritual ecstasy.

Very good condition - slightly used with minor signs of wear.

Beautiful jewelry!

Clasp length: 4.6 cm.
Weight: 9.2 grams.

Look at the last photo where the relation with a 1 euro coin is visible.

Read the lot information thoroughly and view the photos (which are an essential part of the description) carefully before you start bidding!

This is an old piece of jewelry and may therefore show signs of wear consistent with its age.

Buyers from outside the EU will need to pay VAT above a certain purchase amount! Please inform yourself about this before you place a bid!

Will be well packed and sent by registered mail!
