Description This brooch is an excellent example of mid-century Continental jewellery in the tradition of German and Austrian silver enamel workshops, known for combining sculptural naturalistic shapes with vivid enamel work. The design displays a blend of Art Nouveau influence (organic lines, natural forms) and later Art Deco elements (marcasite accents), typical for high-quality jewellery produced from the 1950s. Its generous size and strong colours make it a statement accessory as well as a desirable collector’s item. Hallmarks The reverse is stamped 835, confirming solid silver of continental European standard. Shipping Catawiki smart services. Insured and well packed.
