Vintage or Antique Blue Bird Swallow Brooch Guilloche Enamel Sterling Silver Pin:
$31.00
DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:
Charming vintage or antique flying bird pin or brooch, sterling silver guilloche with lustrous enamel in a gorgeous shiny aqua blue color with black points on wings and tail. Most likely a swallow (with its split tail) but could also be a bluebird. Signed \"Sterling Silver\" on back.
This is from the UK and may be an unsigned Charles Horner piece, probably Edwardian and definitely with early 1900\'s style, sort of Art Nouveau and Art Deco at the same time.Guilloche is a technique of machining/engraving the metal to get the intricate patterning that shows through the enamel, giving the piece depth and detail.
Good vintage condition, with typical areas of enamel loss and cracking (please see photos), mostly at places of transition between the aqua and black enamel, evidence of the pin\'s use/history and a part of its vintage/antique charm.Remaining enamel is thick and lustrous, with the blue almost appearing to be wet. Pin and C-clasp are solidly made and in excellent working order
Approximately 3-1/8\" x 3/4\" x 1/4\" in size.
