French Art Deco Swan Brooch

£90.00

S153

French Art Deco swan brooch in silver, baroque pearl & marcasite.

Petite and elegant, the swan brooch has a diamond-like shimmer.  With its gracefully curved neck and sweeping plume, the design creates a strong sense of movement. 

The trombone clasp, named after the musical instrument that needs a push and pull to operate, was first seen on European jewellery in the 1890s. To the back of the trombone clasp there is an official Boar’s Head hallmark indicating 800 Silver. This mark, known in French as the hure de sanglier, was used in France from 1838 - 1962.

Marcasite is a pyrite gemstone that has been faceted to imitate diamonds. Popular from around 1700 onward and mounted in silver, its golden yellow color and metallic luster give it a high shine.
