Antique Art Nouveau brooch with female motif & flowers

This artfully crafted brooch dates from the heyday of Art Nouveau, circa 1900, and depicts a dreaming woman in a scene framed by flowers and sunbeams. The fine metal casting with partial gold hue underscores the high craftsmanship of this historic piece of jewelry. Typical of this period are the flowing forms, floral ornamentation, and the idealized depiction of women—a central motif in Art Nouveau. Even without a visible hallmark, the patina and craftsmanship suggest a tombac or bronze alloy with partial gold plating. An expressive collector's item for lovers of classic period aesthetics.
