Antique Portuguese Sterling Silver Handmade Filigree Daisy Bouquet Brooch Pin

This piece, resembling a bouquet of daisies, showcases the breathtaking precision in the filigree work of its leaves. ▰▰▰▰▰▰ Portugal Filigree ▰▰▰▰▰▰ Archaeological evidence suggests that filigree work originated in Mesopotamia and Egypt, a craft that emerged as early as the 3rd millennium BC. In Portugal, its roots trace back to the Phoenicians in the 2nd millennium BC. However, filigree jewelry wasn't firmly established on the Iberian Peninsula until the Moorish occupation in the 8th century AD. Portugal continued to nurture this craft, developing a unique filigree style as its culture evolved, while the technique largely faded in Spain. ▰▰▰▰▰▰ Vintage Adornment Details ▰▰▰▰▰▰ Brand Mark: N/A Era: 1930s - 1950s Material: Sterling Silver Dimensions: Approximately 3.6 × 7.3 cm Condition: Good, with minor signs of age. ▰▰▰▰▰▰ About The Kiosk ▰▰▰▰▰▰ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51673204030_863373c623_c.jpg ✧I✧ The Curator personally selects jewelry and vintage pieces from the USA, Canada, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, and other regions, dating from approximately the 1920s to the 1990s. ✧II✧ These vintage pieces have journeyed through decades.
