Description from the seller
A magnificent statement of early 20th-century European silver artistry, this substantial navette plaque brooch is forged in solid 925 sterling silver with deep antique oxidation. The ornate, openwork geometric gallery features reeded ribbons, milgrain borders, and stylized floral rosettes pavé-set with glittering pyrite marcasites.
