Antique French Art Nouveau 18K & Diamond Brooch

Art Nouveau is an ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry, and glass design.  It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the heavier, more somber feel that dominated much of 19th-century art and design. During this time, artists turned to nature and fantasy for subject matter, with fairies and goddesses taking prominence.

Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, this beautiful brooch has a regal lady at the center. Boules and leafy designs add an ornate flourish, while three glittering diamonds flank her majesty. A wonderful piece from an artistically important era, and ready to make her home in your collection!
