Vintage Roman-Greek Mythological Silver Lace Carved Portrait Round Brooch Pin B1974

A vintage brooch, acquired in France. Classical portraits and filigree craftsmanship are commonly found in Europe, particularly in Italy and France. This style was popular during the 19th and 20th centuries. The central figure is a Roman-style bust of a woman, with an elaborate headdress and a dignified profile, symbolizing wisdom, nobility, and civilization. The filigree work on the outer frame of the brooch is also a distinctive feature. The material is silver. It is substantial and in very good condition. 3 centimeters. Additionally, I'd like to share something about the safety clasp on the back. This type of clasp is called a Trombone Clasp, also known as a Push-pull safety clasp. This design is frequently seen in French and European jewelry. It was widely used in the 1940s, and even vintage Chanel pieces feature this design! You might want to check if any of your existing brooches have this mechanism. I find it to be a wonderful design 😊. Due to their age, vintage jewelry should be stored in a ziplock bag after use. Avoid wearing them during showering, swimming, or other water-related activities. With normal care, these pieces can last a lifetime.
