Description

DATE: Art Nouveau, c.1890

A gorgeous early Art Nouveau ivy leaf brooch with an enamelled cupid on the wing and holding a bunch of gem-set flowers. It dates from late 19th Century France, with 18k gold marks (horse head), and of exceptional quality. The leaf features organic curves that let reflections ripple and flow over the gold. The flowers are set with pearls and rubies, and the detailing to the enamel is incredibly fine. It remains paired with the original tooled leather presentation box, which is a marvel in itself.
