c1900 Art Nouveau Enameled 14K Gold Pearl Orchid Flower Pin Brooch
Regular price
$345.60
Presented is an Art Nouveau, 14 karat gold and pearl flower pin from the turn of the century (c1900). This is an American piece and was made between 1890 and 1905. The openwork pin is in the form of an orchid and the center is post set with a natural pearl. The pin is enameled with translucent green, pink and red hues. The old clasp has been replaced, which is the most likely place that the piece would be marked. We highly believe this to be the work of Krementz, but it is not marked because of the clasp replacement.
This piece has been tested with nitric acid and is guaranteed to be 14 karat gold purity.
This piece is great overall condition. There is a very little loss of enamel to the 1 o’clock and the 5 o’clock position, but this is only noticeable upon very close inspection. There are no other flaws.
The pin measures 7/8 of an inch wide and it weighs 3 grams.
