Michaela Frey Purple Gold Mackintosh Rose Brooch - European Vintage Jewelry

We introduced M. Frey, a manufacturer of Hermès champlevé enamel, a while ago. Today, we present a brooch that is exceptionally elegant, representative of the brand's earlier enamel jewelry. Compared to the later, more vibrant and ornate styles, the early works possess a much more subtle and delicate charm. With a creamy white base and 24K enamel colors, it depicts geometric patterns and lines in the Art Nouveau style. The violet-blue roses have the appearance of the Mackintosh Rose from the Glasgow School—remember, the Glasgow School was a significant influence on Austro-German aesthetics! Indeed, the slender, elongated lines in the center, do they not evoke the interior design and furniture of the Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow? (Collectors who followed the shop owner's stories in April will certainly know~) Antique and vintage pieces, with their inherent beauty, tell us stories of the past, emitting a gentle and enduring radiance, much like the objects themselves. · · 〖 Michaela Frey 〗 As a manufacturer of Hermès champlevé enamel jewelry, Michaela Frey, established in 1951, is renowned worldwide for its top-tier quality.
