Vintage enameled Luxembourg coat of arms brooch, heraldic shield, retro style

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique brooch featuring the coat of arms of Luxembourg, shield-shaped, enhanced by a molded silver-colored outline and topped with a motif reminiscent of castle battlements. The visible surface has an enameled finish, illustrating the crowned heraldic red lion on a background of blue and white horizontal stripes, typical of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg's coat of arms. The inscription "LUXEMBOURG" appears in clear and distinct black capital letters in the upper part of the shield.

The border of the brooch displays a slightly irregular textured surface, with a patinated effect that highlights its vintage character. The upper part, with its stylized battlements, recalls traditional European armorial ornaments and reinforces the decorative aspect of the piece.

The central motif, made of colored enamel, stands out with its vibrant colors: the alternating blue and white of the background are enhanced by the striking red of the lion, whose details (claws, tail, tongue) are carefully drawn. The lion's golden-yellow crown adds a touch of contrast, while the molded frame accentuates the embossed effect.

The overall piece presents a retro style, typical of mid-20th century travel souvenirs or costume jewelry, with no apparent manufacturer's mark on the visible side. The brooch is distinguished by its compact and refined format, suitable for discreet display on clothing or an accessory.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible enamel appears to be in good general condition, with no apparent chips on the front. Some traces of wear or marks on the frame are possible, consistent with age and previous use.

Did you know? The coat of arms of Luxembourg, called "the Red Lion," has been used since the 13th century and symbolizes the country's history and identity.
