This stunning antique Art Nouveau sterling silver brooch/pendant dates to the late 1800s and features a beautifully sculpted maiden’s portrait framed by flowing, organic floral forms.
Crafted in deep repoussé relief, her softly detailed face and cascading hair reflect the romantic artistry of the early Art Nouveau movement, when jewelry was inspired by nature, femininity, and hand-formed silverwork rather than mass production.
