1900s Continental Art Nouveau Gilded Eagle Head Baroque Pearl Brooch

This brooch hails from the Art Nouveau period of the 1900s, crafted from gilded sterling silver and adorned with a Baroque pearl. Its origin is unknown, but it was discovered in France. In Europe, eagles commonly symbolize strength, victory, and imperial authority, frequently appearing in the heraldry of noble families to represent distinguished lineage. Their keen eyesight and ability to soar also represent acuity and freedom. The brooch precisely captures the eagle's sharp, majestic gaze, with intricately detailed and lifelike feathers. The Baroque pearl in its beak, with its irregular form, embodies the natural fluidity characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. The overall design balances strength and grace, exuding a powerful presence. The piece is in good antique condition, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age. The back bears a STERLING 925 silver hallmark, reflecting its status as a century-old antique piece rather than a brand new item.
