Description

Elegant vintage elongated brooch, presented here in a case adorned with a floral relief pattern. The bar-type jewelry features a luminous gold finish, with a central twisted motif adding depth to the piece. The visible surface is characterized by clean lines and a slightly curved structure, typical of retro-style creations. The overall design evokes a refined aesthetic, highlighted by the shine of the gilding on metal (material not explicitly stated, but the golden metallic appearance is clearly visible).

The hinge clasp is clearly visible on the left side, facilitating attachment to clothing or a textile accessory. No hallmark, signature, or mark appears on the visible face of the brooch. The object is highlighted by natural light, revealing warm reflections and a uniform patina, with no chips or apparent oxidation on the front.

The brooch's design is refined, with central relief work that brings dynamism to the piece. The edges are smooth, without superfluous patterns, reinforcing the timeless character of the jewelry. This style is characteristic of retro fashion accessories, often prized for their discreet elegance and their ability to complement many clothing styles.

The case visible in the photo, richly decorated and padded with light fabric, enhances the jewelry and suggests careful presentation or storage use, but it is not explicitly included in the sale.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The general appearance of the brooch on the visible face is very clean, with no notable defects, scratches, or visible alteration to the gilding.

Did you know? Bar-type brooches, particularly popular during the 20th century, were often worn to adorn collars, lapels, or hats. Their clean design allowed for great versatility, both for daily use and on special occasions.
