Stunning large vintage butterfly brooch crafted in intricate silver filigree — delicate hand-twisted wire coiled into swirling lacy panels that catch the light beautifully. A truly eye-catching piece.

The wings feature elaborate open scrollwork with circular motifs and radiating wire patterns, all soldered together with remarkable detail. The textured body and wire antennae complete the naturalistic design.

Details:

• Style: European filigree, likely Italian, circa 1930s–1950s

• Metal: Silver-tone metal; cleans and polishes to bright silver; no visible hallmark (consistent with many European export pieces of this era)

• Size: Approximately 3.5” [wing tip to wing tip] wide

• Clasp: Roll-over, locking bar

• Condition: Very good vintage condition; [some tarnish, roll-over bar slight bend; does not affect closure]

A beautiful addition to any vintage jewelry collection or a striking accessory on a coat, scarf, or blouse. Would also display wonderfully in a shadow box or brooch collection. Weights approximately 16g.
