Antique French silver bar brooch with a faceted oval hematite stone. A simple Art Deco design, circa 1915.
The stone is mounted in open claws on a thin, linear-structured cane with a safety pin closure.
A sober and functional design, typical of early Art Deco, with a clear modernist influence in its structural and minimalist decorative approach. The dark gray hematite with a metallic sheen reinforces the contrast between material and form, accentuating its geometric character.
This piece was manufactured around 1915-1925 in France, during the transition between Art Nouveau and the emerging Art Deco style. It is ideal for vintage jewelry collectors or as a discreet brooch for formal attire.

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.
