Product Description

This is the real thing. A genuine Art Deco sterling silver filigree bar brooch, stamped Sterling with a patent number on the reverse — meaning this piece has documented, datable provenance straight from the 1920s or 1930s. Not a reproduction. Not "Art Deco style." The actual era, the actual craftsmanship. The delicate openwork filigree runs the full length of the bar, with scrollwork curling at both ends and a row of glittering paste stones set down the center. It catches light the way only handcrafted antique jewelry does — alive and dimensional, not flat like modern costume pieces. The C-clasp pin back is original and fully functional. This wears beautifully on a lapel, a scarf, a silk blouse, or a wedding dress sash. Metal: Sterling silver — stamped on reverse Markings: Sterling stamp + patent number (helps authenticate and date the piece) Style: Art Deco bar brooch — 1920s–1930s Detail: Openwork filigree with scrollwork ends Stones: Paste/rhinestones set inline down the center Clasp: Original C-clasp pin back, functional Condition: Excellent for age — light patina, all stones present The kind of brooch your grandmother would have worn to church and handed down. Now it's yours to wear or pass on. A rare find at this price — antique sterling with its original patent stamp doesn't come up often in this condition.
