1950s Black Starr & Frost Enamel Gold Bird Brooch

  • 18th Century Micro Mosaic brooch of a Bird and a Bee, circa 1795-1825.
    Located in Aspen, CO
    Late 18th Century to early 19th century Micro Mosaic brooch depicting a bird on a branch eyeing an approaching bee. The mosaic is in fine condition and sits within a gold frame. The pinstem and clasp has been updated and replaced. A micro-mosaic is a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces called tesserae. These were different types of hard stones, tile or glass. This delightful scene is surrounded by two ornate micro mosaic borders - one of lighter and larger tesserae, the inner of darker and smaller tesserae creating a subtle feeling of depth. This is an very early example of a micro-mosaic because the scene is unusual (later examples tended toward landscapes and architecture), also the ornate borders, as well as the size of the tesserae (being a bit larger than later examples) all date this piece to the turn of the 18th to 19th century. Micro-mosaics as a jewelry art form did not exist before approximately 1775. The use of colored glass and colored hard stone tesserae as the constituent parts of this artistry was basically an adjunct to the decoration of architectural elements as for example in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome which has 10,000 square meters of micro-mosaic. The same artists that filled the orders of architects were the first to develop, around 1800, miniature versions that required less time and for which these artists could charge more because, at this time, Rome became a living laboratory of classic treasures...
