Signed black vintage costume brooch, antique rectangular retro jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old rectangular brooch, presented here in a black lacquered finish. The piece features a smooth surface punctuated by discreet geometric patterns, created in relief or by brilliance contrast. The overall look evokes a minimalist style typical of 20th-century costume jewelry, with an elegant and sober black dominant.

The brooch is signed; an inscription is visible but difficult to read on the presented side, attesting to production by a designer or a workshop specializing in costume jewelry. The object displays a straight and clean line, without superfluous adornments, highlighting the brilliance and play of light on the black surface.

In the photo, some signs of wear are noticeable, particularly at the right end where the black finish reveals an underlying metallic gleam. Some micro-scratches and marks of use are also visible on the central part, testifying to previous use and a certain age.

The contrast between the black surface and the slight metallic reflections creates a graphic effect, reinforced by the rectangular geometry. The whole retains a retro appeal, ideal for accessorizing a vintage or contemporary outfit. The style evokes trends from the 70s-80s, without being able to confirm it with certainty, but the sobriety of the piece aligns with many 20th-century costume jewelry trends.

The brooch is rigid and has an elongated shape, perfect for wearing on a lapel, dress, or coat. No figurative decor is visible; the piece relies on the elegance of its form and the quality of its finish.
