Modernist Brooch Abstract Swirl Gold Tone Mid Century Modern Vintage Pin

Description

View Modernist Brooch Abstract Swirl Gold Tone Mid Century Modern Vintage Pin with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The construction, elongated pin stem and hardware are also consistent with a mid-20th-century date. The brooch is unsigned. Small areas of green oxidation or verdigris are visible in recessed portions of the central curled design. This striking vintage brooch is a wonderful example of sculptural Mid Century Modern jewelry, formed from a sweeping ribbon of gold-tone metal that curves gracefully before looping into a dimensional coil at the center. Raised linear ribbing travels along the length of the design, accentuating its fluid movement and giving the surface additional texture and depth. Rather than representing a literal flower or leaf, the design relies on abstraction, asymmetry, negative space and flowing architectural lines. These characteristics are strongly associated with mid-century modernist costume jewelry of the 1950s to 1960s. The construction, elongated pin stem and hardware are also consistent with a mid-20th-century date. The brooch is unsigned. At 2.25 inches, it has enough presence to make a statement while remaining highly wearable. The graceful curved silhouette works beautifully as a lapel or dress pin and has the sophisticated simplicity that makes vintage modernist jewelry so appealing today. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Classic Mid Century Modern sculptural design. The abstract swirl creates beautiful dimensional movement. Raised ribbed lines emphasize its dramatic sweeping curves. Stone-free styling gives it a sophisticated minimalist look. A versatile statement brooch that is easy to wear. The 2.25 inch size gives it presence without overwhelming an outfit. Condition Good vintage condition with visible age-related surface wear, finish variation, patina and areas of discoloration consistent with an older piece. Small areas of green oxidation or verdigris are visible in recessed portions of the central curled design. The pin stem and clasp are present and functional. The existing patina has been left intact rather than aggressively polished. Please review all photographs closely for the most complete representation of condition.
