White Metal and Glass Brooch. Cast brooch with stub of a hinged pin and a complete catch-plate knop on the reverse. The brooch forms a flattened V-shape vaguely resembling outspread wings with a raised field on each, and has a plano-convex ruby glass gem set at their union as a boss within a collared setting. The Art Nouveau effect depends largely on the graceful lines of the piece which may suggest a Late Victorian or Edwardian date. Suggested date: Modern, 1890-1920. Length: 55.4mm, Height/Width: 14.8mm, Thickness (maximum): 6.0mm, Weight: 5.92gms.
