Vintage European sterling silver brooch with an abstract geometric design, constructed from overlapping angular plates that alternate between textured and polished surfaces. The composition incorporates small, opaque circular elements in shades of mauve, brown, and black; they are visually consistent with enamel, although their exact material cannot be determined with certainty.

The asymmetrical design, the layering of planes, and the contrast between triangular and circular shapes reflect the language of geometric modernism from the second half of the 20th century. A piece with a distinctly graphic and sculptural character, representative of designer jewelry and European design from this period.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
