Description

The open scrolling body is densely set in silver with vibrant turquoise stones, accented with subtle tonal variation and natural matrix. The reverse is constructed in solid 14k gold with original pin fitting, providing strength and quality typical of higher-grade Central European workmanship of the period.

The scale and architectural silhouette give this piece strong presence, while the intricate cluster setting creates exceptional texture and light play across the surface.

Recently professionally polished and cleaned. The brooch presents beautifully, with all stones secure and only minor, age-appropriate wear consistent with period.

A highly wearable statement antique jewel with strong decorative impact.
