Vintage gold-tone butterfly brooch, signed, antique costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Elegant antique brooch featuring a stylized butterfly in a gold finish, typical of vintage costume jewelry. The overall shape evokes a butterfly with widely spread wings, each wing adorned with concentric spiral motifs, giving the piece a graphic and decorative appearance. The surface has a deliberate irregular texture, highlighting the artisanal character of the piece.

The brooch displays a brilliant golden hue, with warm and luminous reflections. Each wing features four raised spirals, the center of which is punctuated by a small cabochon or metallic disc, accentuating the decorative dimension. The central part of the butterfly, thick and rounded, extends into a shape evoking the head and antennae, in a streamlined style.

The pin and clasp are visible on the back, confirming the classic brooch fastening system, suitable for clothing and textile accessories. No additional decoration is visible on the front, which reinforces the impact of the main motif. The brooch rests on a plain purple background, highlighting its golden finish.

The designer's or brand's signature is indicated in the keywords, although it is not visible on the front presented here. The object falls within the tradition of costume jewelry from past decades, with an aesthetic evoking the 70s or 80s, without being able to confirm this with certainty solely from the photo.

The brooch is made of gilded metal according to the keywords, which suggests gilding applied to a metallic base. No other material is identifiable on the visible side.
