Silver brooch with openwork heraldic shield and cherubs.

A piece of jewelry of historical inspiration, based on the famous designs that the workshops of Florence (such as Peruzzi or Coppini) immortalized during the 19th century and the early and mid-20th century. The brooch captures the essence of the Neo-Renaissance style. It features a central shield with bezants under a crown, flanked by putti and surrounded by acanthus scrolls and mascarons. Made in Italy in the mid-20th century, it maintains aesthetic fidelity and appeal for collectors. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it was customary for European aristocrats to travel through Italy (the Grand Tour). Jewelry workshops in Florence and Rome began to mass-produce these heraldic pieces as luxury "souvenirs" for these travelers.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
