This authentic Art Deco era Czechoslovakian brooch showcases the exceptional metalwork and glass crafting of the famous Gablonz region during the interwar period. Crafted around the 1920s to 1930s, the brooch features a lightweight brass-tone gilded filigree base with intricate openwork and scrolling floral motifs. At its centre rests a large, multi-faceted oval glass stone in a striking teal blue shade, held securely in double prong settings. It is accented by four claw-set deep sapphire blue glass stones and detailed with crisp white and cobalt blue hand-applied enamel highlights. The reverse reveals the iconic layered stamped-filigree pattern typical of fine Czech production from this period, complete with a working pin stem and roll-over clasp.
Dimensions: 4cm x 3cm
Condition: Very good condition with minor light wear to the enamel consistent with age, while all glass stones remain vibrant and firmly set.
This magnificent statement piece would suit collectors of early 20th-century costume jewellery, lovers of Art Deco fashion, or anyone looking to add a touch of authentic antique bohemian charm to a coat, jacket, or scarf.
