A charming vintage marcasite bow from the late Art Deco era, c1940! Made of sterling silver this lovely brooch depicts a very neat bow. The slightly puffed bow shimmers with hand-set marcasite stones throughout the front surface. All set within a wonderful milled-accented streamline geometric pattern, adding further Art Deco pizzazz! A pin and secure revolver clasp attaches to the back. No stamps are sighted to the piece (not unusual for the era) albeit tests indicate sterling sliver.
A beautiful bow brooch of the era, a timeless piece which would easily complement today's fashion!
