About the Item
Inspired by folk embroidery, filigree jewelry transformed in the early 1800s during the Georgian period into labor-intensive cannetille, like this antique handmade intricately-wired metal-frame brooch depicting a floral spray. Resembling Silesian wire-ornamentation, this metallic wire and red braided-thread brooch features a single seed pearl bead at the center of its flower, which was an extraordinarily costly gem at that time.
When most likely made by a goldsmith or ironwork artisian in France or Germany, where art styles celebrated nature and rural traditions in the early 19th century, precious metals were extremely scarce in Europe since the Napoleonic wars so alloys were used instead, such as for this brooch.
Consistent with the timely rarity of gold and silver through the 1830s, mostly common materials add color and texture to this brooch, which partly mask the less expensive alloy that may be Berlin Iron dating as early as 1805. In contrast to the spiraling metallic wire on three of the petals and a leaf, the other red ones were apparently created by tightly wrapping silk thread around each wire before it was strung all around each individual frame, which created three-dimensional centers where they overlap. This echos the other curvilinear aspects of the essentially convex brooch, whereby wire-wrapped floral stems form the background.
As the handmade metal pin that loops into both the hinge and C-clasp is dark in color, it may also have been painted with black enamel that has worn off in spots. Otherwise the brooch is in very good condition.
