Antique French Art Nouveau Carved Horn Bird Brooch c.1910

A beautiful example of early 20th-century French artistry, this antique Art Nouveau bird brooch dates to circa 1910 and is meticulously hand-carved from translucent blonde animal horn. The graceful bird, resembling a stork or heron, is depicted in flight with elegantly extended wings. Its hand-painted red lacquer beak and contrasting brown feet add wonderful character and detail to the warm, honey-toned horn. Measuring 2½ inches long, this distinctive antique brooch makes a lovely statement on a jacket, coat, scarf, or lapel. An unusual and increasingly difficult-to-find example of French Art Nouveau jewelry. Materials: French Horn Measurements: 2 1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inches tall Weight: 5.5 grams Condition: In very, very good condition with no chips or nicks, and the coloring is predominantly in place, with slight loss to the lacquer on the feet.
