Art Deco brooch with Shibayama style mother of pearl plaque, c1920
This is a very rare silver brooch comprising a large oval onyx stone set with a very detailed and finely carved mother of pearl plaque. This is either a reflection of Japanese shibayama designs or was indeed imported from Japan and set into the brooch. The floral pattern shimmers and dances with the light and there is so much detail; it is a real work of art. The stone is set with marcasite stones around the edge. It is marked illegibly but is continental, most likely French or Belgian.| Size: | Brooch : 62 mm x 48 mm, Mother of pearl plaque : is 31 mm x 19 mm |
| Weight: | 19.2 grams |
| Date: | c1920 |
| Condition: | Very good condition, no issues |
| Estimate: | £130 – 150 |
