Vintage Portuguese .833 Silver Gold-Washed Filigree Bow Brooch

This is the kind of vintage brooch that rewards a closer look. From a distance it’s an elegant golden ribbon bow; up close, the extraordinarily fine filigree turns it into a miniature piece of metalwork. Its three-dimensional construction gives it much more presence than its light 5.8-gram weight would suggest.

It would be especially appealing to a collector of Portuguese silver, vintage filigree or European jewelry, while still being wonderfully wearable on a jacket, scarf, dress or lapel. The surviving gold wash paired with glimpses of the silver beneath gives it the unmistakable character of a piece that has actually lived a life rather than a modern reproduction.

Condition: Good vintage condition with expected age and use wear. There is visible loss/wear to portions of the gold-colored finish, exposing silver-colored metal underneath. Please examine the close-up photographs for the best representation of condition.
