Antique Victorian Art Nouveau Sash Pin Brooch with Snake Motif
About the Item
A stunning and rare piece, this antique sash pin or brooch embodies the elegance and artistry of the Victorian and Art Nouveau periods. At its center, a faceted lipstick-red glass cabochon is beautifully framed by an intricately designed snake motif, a symbol of rebirth and transformation that was favored during the era. The snake is meticulously detailed, coiled around the central stone, adding both drama and sophistication to this striking piece.
Crafted in gold-gilt metal (likely brass or copper as the base metal), this brooch retains its original "C" clasp typical of the time. It is signed "F&B" ( Foster & Bailey from Providence, R.I. ) known for producing high-quality, artisanal pieces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Materials:
Gold-gilt metal (brass or copper base)
Lipstick-red faceted glass cabochon
Dimensions:
Length: 3 3/4 inches (9.5 cm)
Width: 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) at its widest point
Condition:
Considering its age, this pin is in very good antique condition. There is light darkening and subtle discoloration to the metal, which is typical for a piece of this age. The glass cabochon remains free of cracks or chips, and the snake’s detailed features are still crisp and clear.
This statement brooch would make a captivating addition to any serious collection of antique jewelry, offering a rare combination of Victorian elegance, Art Nouveau symbolism, and the craftsmanship of Fishel, Nessler & Co.
