Vintage hand-painted oval flower brass frame brooch signed AB

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Oval antique brooch, visible in the photo, featuring a hand-painted floral miniature under glass or a transparent surface. The central motif depicts a bouquet composed of multicolored flowers: a pink rose at the bottom, a large blue flower, small red and white flowers, and green foliage. The entire piece is executed in a delicate and detailed style, typical of costume jewelry from the second half of the 20th century.

The brooch is encircled by a twisted frame with a golden appearance, consistent with the "brass" mention in the keywords. This encircling features a shiny finish with a relief effect, highlighting the elaborate nature of the mounting. The painting appears to be protected by a glass or a transparent, slightly domed cabochon.

In the lower right corner of the floral motif, an "AB" signature is visible, attesting to signed handwork. The colors remain vibrant: blue, red, pink, yellow, green, and white, on a cream or pale beige background. The contrast of shades gives the whole a refined decorative effect, perfect for a vintage accessory.

The overall condition appears good from the visible side: the paint is well preserved, with no chips or apparent scratches, and the golden encircling shows no notable tarnishing. No major visual defects appear on this side.

This brooch, typical of vintage costume jewelry, can be worn on a jacket, coat, or scarf, and also fits into a display case of antique jewelry or as decoration on a textile support.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is in good overall condition, with no apparent structural defects.

Did you know? Hand-painted brooches on brass mounts were very popular in European costume jewelry from the 1950s to the 1970s, with each piece often being unique due to manual painting and the artist's signature.
