Dating back to the 1940s, it is made of Siam sterling silver, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship from Thailand during that era. What truly sets this brooch apart is its articulated construction, allowing the tail to move gracefully, adding a sense of animation and charm. This feature makes it not just a piece of jewelry but a tiny, wearable sculpture.
The peacock motif is a celebration of natural beauty and opulence. Its body is crafted with intricate latticework, giving it texture and depth, while the tail and wings are meticulously enameled.
The white enamel backdrop on the feathers is delicately hand-painted with peacock "eyes" in vibrant shades of cobalt blue and emerald green. These feather designs, with their precise detailing, are a testament to the skill of the artisan and evoke the grandeur of a real peacock in full display.
The brooch is both striking and versatile. Its articulated design allows it to transform from a flat, compact piece to a dynamic display, making it suitable for use as both an adornment and a decorative object.
The hinge mechanism is smooth and well-integrated, ensuring that the movement feels natural and fluid.
