SOLD Antique Art Nouveau Silver Lady 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. 

This wonderful little Art Nouveau pin has been carefully crafted in silver. Almost like a miniature illustration, the central figure is a beautiful woman with flowing hair intertwined with roses. A romantic and organic motif that has us so enchanted, we have named her Belle, after the heroine of 'Beauty And The Beast'!
