This brooch is everything!!Such a rare find!!! Absolutely marvelous and large sized Antique late victorian era circa 1900 Swiss Guilloche Enamel and 935 Silver floral brooch.

The brooch showcases intricate guilloché enamel work, a highly skilled decorative technique popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved engraving a repetitive, precise pattern onto metal, which was then covered with translucent enamel, creating a shimmering effect. This level of craftsmanship is indicative of Swiss jewelry expertise.

At the heart of the brooch is an exquisite hand-painted rose in shades of pink, surrounded by tender green leaves and delicate stems.

The enamel’s surface is enhanced by a soft green guilloché background that contrasts subtly with the vibrant rose. The fine gold accents provide an elegant finishing touch.

The painted rose design is a hallmark of Victorian romanticism, where floral motifs symbolized beauty, love, and nature. The vibrant pink rose against the soft green guilloché enamel background highlights the era’s focus on delicate, lifelike artistry.

The hallmark "F.B.E" and the 935 silver stamp confirm its origin in Geneva, a city renowned for its luxury craftsmanship in watchmaking and jewelry during the late 19th century. The maker, F.B.E. Geneva, contributed to Switzerland’s reputation for exceptional enamel work.

Its immaculate guilloché enamel is exceedingly rare. Enamel, being fragile, often suffers chips or damage over time. This brooch's flawless enamel and clear detailing make it highly desirable.

The piece is a masterclass in guilloché and hand-enamel techniques, demonstrating the artisan’s skill and the workshop’s commitment to perfection.
