A captivating and rare piece of early 20th-century French fine jewelry, this decorative brooch beautifully merges traditional French metalcraft with the exotic elegance of Asian-inspired Japonisme design.
Hand-crafted in solid French silver and bearing the official French guarantee stamps, the geometric faceted plaque is meticulously set with a dazzling pavé of vintage paste rhinestones. A striking contrast is created by hand-applied black enamel branches and vibrant fiery red enamel blossoms, capturing a poetic blossoming plum branch motif against a glittering sky.
Measuring 4.4 cm by 2.5 cm and weighing a substantial 16.3 grams, this piece features a secure pin stem and clasp closure on the reverse.
Hallmarked with the official French Wild Boar head (Tête de Sanglier) silver purity mark, a distinct French maker's workshop mark, and stamped "FRANCE".
A sophisticated, highly collectible statement piece for connoisseurs of antique French enamel work and Art Deco period costume-fine crossover jewelry.
