Item description
Vintage Filigree Duet Two Birds Flying Nest Eggs 800 Silver Brooch Pin
Nesting Delicate Dainty Lace Cannetille Work
Love Romance Romantic Design
Hand Crafted Handmade Wirework
Two Tone Vermeil Gold Washed
Three Dimensional 3D Layered
This is a lovely vintage 800 silver figural brooch of two birds landing on and tending their two eggs lying in a bird’s nest on a branch. At one time this was most likely gold plated or had some enamel on it and there are traces of the plating that give the brooch a rainbow effect, especially on the back. It is marked “800” for the silver content on a cartouche on the reverse of the pin. The 800 mark was used mostly in European countries such as; Germany, Italy, France, and Switzerland. The brooch shows elaborate and delicate beauty and quality craftsmanship. I believe this type of design is known as Cannetille, which is a 3-dimensional filigree of fine wires with scrolls and coils. The patina is a deep rich greyish silver. It measures approximately 2 inches wide and 1 inches tall. It weighs .30 ounces on my postage scale, which converts to 8.50 grams.
This brooch is in great vintage condition as you can see by the enlarged photographs. I have not polished it as many people prefer the rich patina that only comes with age. Depending on your own taste, I will leave any polishing up to you; you can keep it in the same condition with its original patina or polish it. It fastens with a roll over safety clasp. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.
This would be perfect for any bird lover. It is a wearable piece of artwork to add to your collection of figural jewelry.
