Vintage silver-plated 70s brooch with butterfly motif and unique geometric design

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rectangular silver-finish brooch, typical of 70s design, visible in the photo. The object features a regular mesh structure, creating a mosaic or grid effect, covering the entire front face. Three stylized butterfly motifs are finely raised on the surface, creating a contrast of texture and relief with the background. The silver finish catches the light and accentuates the graphic effect of the decoration.

The brooch has an elongated shape with slightly rounded corners, giving it a modern and elegant aesthetic. The decoration features clean, angular lines, characteristic of the geometric decorative trends of the 1970s. The whole is enhanced by a uniform shine, with no apparent discoloration on the visible side.

The stylized and abstract butterfly motif integrates harmoniously into the regular grid, reminiscent of some costume jewelry creations from the period. No text, signature or mark is visible on this side. The brooch is photographed resting on a light fabric, in an old gilded box, which highlights its decorative character and vintage appearance.

The surface shows some slight handling marks normal for a used piece of jewelry, but no chips, missing parts or major defects are visible in the photo. The finishing details and the state of preservation of the main decoration are very satisfactory for a piece from this era.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible face shows no major defects, deep scratches or deformations. Patina and tiny traces of normal wear for a vintage piece of jewelry.
