Bullrush brooch
designed for Anton Michelsen
brooches and pins, Denmark, 1930s -40s?
$150.00
The attention to detail on this Sterling silver brooch is extremely fine. The bullrush heads are oxidised, and the long swirling rushes have been treated with a light gold wash with a central strip of oxidisation. The sculptural effect is stunning, particularly as this is a large brooch.
I do not know who designed this brooch. I think the construction is too early for Gertrud Engel. It remains an anonymous masterpiece.
