This Art Nouveau-era sterling silver bar brooch is a refined and elegant example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, incorporating the organic, flowing aesthetics typical of the movement.
The centerpiece is an oval cabochon of egg-yolk Baltic amber, a highly sought-after organic gemstone with a warm golden-yellow hue. This variety of amber is known for its opaque, milky consistency, distinguishing it from the more translucent honey amber.
True to the Art Nouveau style, the metalwork flows seamlessly around the central amber, resembling intertwined vines.
Stylized engraved leaves are delicately incorporated on either side of the amber, reinforcing the naturalistic inspiration behind the design.
Dating from circa 1900-1915, this brooch reflects the Art Nouveau movement, which flourished between 1890-1910, favoring organic forms, naturalistic themes, and flowing asymmetry.
