Description
An Art Nouveau style openwork brooch cast in silver-toned white metal. The central motif depicts a stylised nude female figure in a reclining pose with long flowing hair, encased within a frame of characteristic whiplash curves and scrolling floral-like elements. The design incorporates a single small circular blue cabochon, possibly turquoise or a glass paste simulant, held in a bezel setting. The reverse of the brooch is fitted with a horizontal pin, a tube hinge, and a C-clasp with a revolving safety catch. A small rectangular indentation containing illegible marks is located on the reverse of the figure.
Condition report:
The brooch is in good antique condition. There is heavy oxidisation and tarnish across the metal surfaces. The cabochon is secure in its setting. The pin mechanism is in working order, though the pin stem exhibits a slight bow.
