Violin Violinist Music Brooch Art Nouveau Maiden Woman Poppy Flower Musician
About the Item
This is a museum quality Art Nouveau Brooch in Sterling Silver depicting a woman musician playing a violin or viola. This rare and extraordinary motif is rendered with exquisite Art Nouveau beauty. The musician bows her violin while her hair, which is adorned with poppy flowers, swirls around her. The work is quite three dimensional with the violin coming out of the brooch and the swirls of hair and poppy flowers of deep repousse work in silver. The open work design within the musicians hair is particularly gorgeous. It is so rare to find a brooch from the Art Nouveau period depicting a woman playing an instrument. The details of this piece are extraordinary down to the pendant earrings with three drops that the musician wears.
The brooch is hallmarked Sterling. The work is a masterpiece of the Art Nouveau period and dates to the Belle Epoque - Art Nouveau period, circa 1880 - 1915.
The brooch is 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) wide and is 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm) tall.
The brooch has its original C-clasp. The brooch can be converted to a pendant if desired.
The brooch weighs 14 grams.

- Art Nouveau Diamond Opal Pendant/Brooch, circa 1900Located in London, GB18ct gold & silver set Art Nouveau Diamond Opal Pendant/Brooch dated circa 1900 Five round opals with an articulated pear shaped opal drop, very well matched with lively play of colours and iridescence in reds, greens, blues and gold. Set in 18 carat yellow gold claw collets Two main transitional cut (old mine) diamonds 0.70ct. Mix of old mine and rose cut diamonds in an 18 carat yellow gold with “silver Set” channel setting , approx 1 ct total. G/H/I, VS2-SI2. Total diamond weight: approx 1.7carats Setting diamonds in gold with a thin layer of silver, “silver set”, was a technique used in the Georgian/Victorian/Art Nouveau period as white coloured gold and platinum were not yet available. A very thin layer of silver was applied to the gold, on which the diamonds were set, to show them off to their best advantage (as the yellow would reflect and distort the white colour of the diamonds). The Art Nouveau period was a short lived but worldwide movement which reached its peak at the end of the 19th Century and the first decade of the 20th Century. It had its roots in the Pre Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements in Britain in the 1860’s. Artists, such as William Morris, took their inspiration from the flora and fauna of nature and rejected the mass industrialisation and mechanisation of the Victorian age. Art Nouveau continued with this theme and has a distinctive appearance with soft, curved shapes and lines and often depicted natural designs such as flowers, birds and the female form. Before the Art Nouveau period, the emphasis had been to design pieces with an emphasis on gem stones, diamonds, rubies emeralds etc. However, during the Art Nouveau period, jewellers adopted the idea of using other semi–precious stones “from nature” such as agate, garnet opal, moonstone, aquamarine and experimented with a wide variety of new techniques e.g. enamelling. The “New Art” style became a worldwide movement encompassing all disciplines of the arts, and world class artists as far afield as Gaudi with his “modernisme” architecture in Spain, Louis Comfort Tiffany in New York with objects, Galle Glass in France and the Liberty & Co Archibald Knox designs in Britain, Jugendstil in Northern Europe and Faberge in Russia. The movement flared brightly but briefly and by 1910 it was already going out of style to be replaced by Art Deco. Detachable 18ct brooch...Category
