Scandinavian white metal silver
traditional brooch
Item number: JEW13041336
Price: $45
White
metal Scandinavian traditional brooch. Size: approx 6cm across.
This
is quite a nice and unusual brooch. The top part with the birds and the
centrepiece is white metal. The nuts and leavse look to be a slightly
darker metal. I think it is tin, not pewter but pewter is 80-90% tin
anyhow. The detail on the nuts is really good; some even have a
hammered look. The whole piece looks to be hand made. It measures about
6.5 cms wide. I did not clean this piece for presentation.
The piece looks Scandinavian in style to me, but what
would I know. It could be American or Australian. It is not marked as
to the maker from what I can see.
I
also
have no idea about the age of this brooch. the hammered finish on
the nuts does have an art crafts nouveau art deco feel. A lovely brooch
nonetheless.
