1920s French Art Deco Carved Emerald Diamond Platinum Bay Tree Brooch

About the Item

A French Art Deco diamond and carved emerald brooch in the form of a stylised bay tree, comprising openwork diamond set foliage, claw-set carved emerald flowers, a black enamel stem and an openwork planter set with brilliant and baguette cut diamonds and black enamel, mounted in platinum, with gold pin fitting, bearing French hallmarks, circa 1920, 5cm x 2cm, gross weight 8.8 grams, illustrated in "Jewelry For Gentlemen" by James Sherwood, page 201. This antique brooch is in very good condition for its age. This fine Art Deco brooch was made in around 1920 and comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This brooch is in the form of a bay tree, with wonderful detail including the pot holding the tree as well as the growing foliage. The base of the tree features an openwork platinum pot set with diamonds and black enamel. The tree branch is enamelled black, and the leaves are delicately set with further glittering diamonds. Throughout the bay tree are wonderful, carved emerald flowers which have a bright and lush green hue. This handsome and unique piece encapsulates the period perfectly. Should you choose to make this purchase we will delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
