Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Butterfly Brooch
About the Item
This is an unusually complex brooch design of curling and coiling forms, in a symmetrical pattern to resemble an abstract butterfly. The sleek sterling silver and the rich sculptural character of this piece makes it a very bold but still tailored piece. The signature technique of sheet and wire construction is evident here as one can see how the thick edges give a strength and body to the forged sheet metal. (Actually this is from a wax carving that emulates the iconic metal technique Morris invented in the mid 1970's.) Not as overtly large as many of the other RLM brooches, this piece packs a punch visually.

Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Peephole Brooch
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
This bold and very sculptural brooch by robert Lee Morris is sterling silver, and is an actual dome that is nearly 3/4" high. there is a rimmed hole in the top center which makes this form completely mysterious and engaging.

Created in the late 1980's during a very active period of collaboration between Robert and Donna Karan who was asking for silver brooches to wear down the runway with her fall jackets. Called the Peephole due to its resemblance to a door peephole...
