This brooch, signed by Oria, an emblematic French manufacturer active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is an elongated piece made of gold-plated brass. It features an openwork floral motif with a central flower and a stylized leaf, typical characteristics of the Art Nouveau repertoire.
Technically, it features high-precision die-cutting and a satin finish. The set red crystal acts as a floral centerpiece, evoking the naturalistic and symbolic influence characteristic of the modernist movement. The clasp is an original long pin with an open hook, suitable for dense fabrics such as wool or velvet.
This type of brooch was a common accessory on lapels, blouses and shawls between 1900 and 1925. Today it is a highly valued collector's item due to its design, recognized authorship and intact condition.
