Vintage Gold-Tone Metal Brooch Nautical Style Knot and Oars 1970s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Fancy vintage brooch, in gold-tone metal, depicting a nautical knot motif embellished with two crossed oars. The whole features a bright and smooth finish, typical of 70s costume jewelry, with metalwork giving the illusion of intertwined ropes. The brooch has an openwork design, where the elements intertwine in relief, evoking the nautical and marine world.

The visible surface of the brooch is entirely gilded, without enameled decoration or stone insertion. The stylized oars, with flattened and geometric ends, are solidly attached to the center of the motif by metal wire windings, accentuating the twisted effect. The gold tone is uniform across the entire visible part, with a beautiful shine that catches the light.

The central motif, in the shape of a knotted ring, recalls the sport chic inspirations and vintage accessories with marine themes, very popular in 1970s costume jewelry. The brooch has a voluminous and sculptural structure, designed to be worn as a centerpiece on clothing.

No mark or inscription is visible on the front of the brooch. No clasp or fastening system is visible in the photo; only the decorative part is shown. The overall condition observed is very good, with no scratches or notable alterations on the visible gilded surface.

This vintage costume jewelry captivates with its decorative appeal and retro style, perfect for accessorizing an outfit or adding a nautical touch to a classic ensemble.

Used item, sold as is. The visible side has a brilliant gold finish with no apparent defects. No traces of oxidation or excessive wear are observable in the photo.
