Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Brooch

Art Nouveau jewellery often drew on nature and the female form, and this sterling silver brooch is a particularly typical example. It depicts a woman leaning towards flowers that appear to be bearded irises, with flowing lines and delicate detail throughout the design. The brooch is 37.5mm x 26mm and weighs 6.79g. A lovely example of the naturalistic style that defined Art Nouveau jewellery.
