A vintage brass Guilloché-enamel butterfly brooch designed by a Norwegian designer in a Scandinavian style, dating from circa 1950–1970, weighing 10.4 g with dimensions 51 mm by 35 mm and a vintage C-clasp pin in good used condition.
Description from the seller
Let yourself be enchanted by this beautifully colored Scandinavian butterfly brooch, crafted in enamel on brass and made between the 1950s and 1970s. A atmospheric and cheerful design object in which the finesse of traditional Norwegian enameling is beautifully brought to life.
The brooch displays a stunning palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, deep red, and gold tones, with characteristic 'peacock butterfly' eye spots on the wings. The vibrant guilloché enamel gives the surface a brilliant depth, while the elegantly curved antennas lend the piece a refined, handcrafted appearance.
This type of jewelry was produced in Scandinavia with great craftsmanship as an accessible alternative to the well-known silver email brooches from Norway. A charming vintage piece that immediately draws attention on a blazer, dress, or scarf — but also beautifully serves as a collector's item in a Scandinavian jewelry collection.
