Description

DATE: Art Deco, c.1930

This wonderful vintage brooch by Boucheron Paris is modelled as a little insect. Dating from the 1930's, it's stamped with the Boucheron Paris marks and the eagles head (for 18k gold). This fine example features pierced wings and a striped body... Reminds me of a wasp or something like that, however it does not buzz ;). It remains in great condition and makes a lovely summer addition to your collar, scarf or hat. 

Boucheron is one of the oldest jewellery maisons in Paris renowned for its creative style and characterful stones. Frédéric Boucheron was born into a family of  dressmakers in 1831. However he broke the family tradition at a young age to open his own jewellery shop. Boucheron began to work with gold and precious stones the same way he had worked with fabrics and in 1858, he opened his first Galerie de Valois boutique in Paris. His success was immediate and the brand is still going strong.
