This lovely Art Deco marcasite brooch with a large round onyx stone in the center is marked 925.
The Art Deco movement was founded by members of the French artists collective known as the La Société des artistes décorateurs, following the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels, held in 1925.
The movement was originally referred to as Style Moderne, and it wasn't until the 1960s when English art historian Bevis Hillier first coined the name Art Deco. The name Art Deco refers to the movement's effect on the decorative arts, meaning the more commercial artistic disciplines of architecture, graphic arts, and industrial design, but the name was also used in reference to the fine arts. As a stylistic motif, Art Deco managed to permeate every aspect daily life, from fashion, to consumer products and film. Of coarse, jewelry was no exception, and the Art Deco movement had a profound effect on jewellery design.
The Art Deco style is probably one of the easiest artistic styles to recognize, with its modern ultra clean lines, trapezoidal shapes, stepped edges, and arced corners.
In very good + condition it measures 1 1/8 inches tall and 1 7/8 inches wide. I also have a pair of sterling silver pierced earring that match this pin listed seperately for sale, please see item #onyx3102.
An addition to any Sterling Silver, Art Deco, Marcasite or Onyx Brooch Collection.
SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions please contact me and thank you for looking.
