A truly captivating Art Deco-era treasure, this large, sculptural floral brooch dates to the 1930s and is crafted in solid sterling silver, beautifully rhodium-plated to preserve its brilliance.

Every graceful curve is lavishly encrusted with prong-set marcasites, their smoky-silver fire catching light like midnight raindrops.

Designed in fully three-dimensional form, the brooch unfurls like a fantastical botanical from a dreamscape — scrolling petals, curling tendrils, and feather-leaf fronds twisting elegantly around one another. Each element is individually textured and gem-studded, giving the piece a sense of organic motion, as if the flower is caught mid-bloom.

The workmanship is confident and weighty — exactly what serious Deco collectors love.

Its generous silver content alone carries a value of approximately R750 at today’s metal price, though of course its artistry elevates it far beyond material worth.

Measurements : The brooch measures 6.7cm x 3.6cm and weight of 29 grams.
