This exquisite antique brooch is a rare piece of wearable art dating back to the Art Nouveau period, circa 1890–1910. Expertly cast in what appears to be solid bronze, it features a beautifully detailed floral motif—most likely a lily—encased within a round openwork frame.
The brooch embodies the organic elegance of the Art Nouveau movement, with its flowing lines and stylized natural forms. The craftsmanship is evident in the texture of the petals and the delicate curves that bring the design to life. Its large round shape makes it a true statement piece, perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates antique jewelry with soul and history.
The reverse side reveals an early pin and clasp mechanism, typical for authentic pieces from the turn of the 20th century. Signs of gentle age-related wear and patina further confirm its antique status and add to its charm and authenticity.
