Vintage Art Deco silver-plated brooch, old geometric costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Art Deco style costume brooch in metal, shown here on its front face, characterized by an openwork geometric structure. The piece has a rectangular shape with softened corners, composed of symmetrical and repetitive motifs, typical of creations from the 1920s-30s. The visible surface is adorned with relief work: multiple domed cabochons or dots, precisely arranged, give the piece a sophisticated and luminous appearance, evoking the style of jewelry from the Art Deco period.

The metal has a shiny silver finish, with no apparent coloration other than that of the metal itself. The geometric motifs alternate between straight lines, circles, and angles, creating a strong graphic effect, highly sought after in Art Deco aesthetics. No floral or figurative motifs are visible, which reinforces the architectural and modern aspect of the brooch.

The brooch is structured around a large central circular motif, surrounded by numerous rectilinear elements and small raised dots, giving depth to the whole. The regularity and precision of the motifs attest to molding or stamping work characteristic of quality costume jewelry.

In the photo, no inscription, signature, or hallmark is visible on the front face. The back, the fastening system, or any marks are not visible in this image and therefore cannot be described.

The brooch is placed on a patinated wooden surface, indoors, with a background evoking the interior of a church or an old building, highlighting the contrast between the metallic shine and the historical decor.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows a beautiful metallic sheen, with no obvious scratches or tarnishing in the photo. No chips or missing parts are observable on this side. The condition of the fastening mechanism cannot be specified, as it is not visible.

Did you know? The Art Deco style, born in the 1920s, is characterized by geometric shapes, straight lines, and symmetrical patterns. This aesthetic movement influenced costume jewelry of the interwar period, where brooches and accessories were often made of molded or stamped metal, sometimes imitating silver or precious stones through relief and brilliance effects.
