Beautiful large vintage or antique silver brooch, depicting naked putti (young boys or toddlers) playing with a goat in a Bacchic scene reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman reliefs. There is no stamp and the acid test shows some silver content but perhaps low, either a silver-plated piece or a piece with 800 silver. Nice detail, beautiful patina. In very good vintage condition with wear commensurate with age. Functional safety C clasp. Really striking and elegant piece, much better in person, great to display or wear.
About 2 x 2 7/8 inches. 33.3 grams.
Please note that different monitors will display color variations. Please ask questions, I do not accept returns.
I am downsizing and I hope this unique piece finds hot somebody who will enjoy it for years to come.
