AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage-style costume brooch, in silver-plated metal according to the keywords, visible in the photo placed on a dark wooden furniture. This piece of jewelry features an elongated, tapered shape, typical of Art Deco-inspired creations, with a refined geometric aesthetic. The brooch stands out for its two-tone decoration: one black half and one light grey half, separated diagonally. Each section boasts a stylized ray or fan motif, evoking the graphic ornaments of the 1920s-1930s.

Small cabochons or rhinestones, light in color, are delicately integrated into the motifs on each side, adding a touch of discreet and elegant sparkle to the whole. The visual appearance of the surface suggests a smooth and shiny finish, with metallic reflections on the edges, consistent with the retro style mentioned. No hallmark or mark is visible on the presented side.

The graphic composition, the alternation of colors and the presence of radiant details strongly recall the Art Deco influences, highly sought after in costume jewelry of the first half of the 20th century. The symmetrical arrangement of the elements accentuates the decorative and sophisticated character of this brooch, ideal for accessorizing an elegant outfit.

The brooch appears to be in good visual condition on the exposed side, with no chips, major scratches, or missing rhinestones on the visible part. The silver-plated metal's patina and the quality of the finish are well preserved, enhancing the object's vintage charm.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows no major defects, apparent wear, or missing parts.
