AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Gorgeous antique French silver brooch with an openworked (ajour) design of bamboo leaves and flowers, surrounded by a decorative beaded edge (repoussé style).

This Asian‑style brooch was made during the European Aesthetic Movement and Art Deco period, when natural elements such as bamboo were very popular.

The brooch dates from around 1930.

Length is 5.5 cm.
Width is 4.0 cm.
Weight is 18.17 grams.

Fitted with a trombone clasp.

Silver mark “crabe” on the front and the pin.

After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I want these special objects to find a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time for these pieces to receive the attention they deserve, so that they are preserved for the distant future as well.

I ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.
