Art Nouveau Grasshopper Brooch

About the Item

A vintage gold mounted grasshopper brooch, the body set with a mabe pearl and the head set with diamonds with ruby eye, all to a realistically carved gold body, circa 1930, measuring approximately 3.1x7.4cm, gross weight 23.8 grams. An exquisitely crafted vintage gold brooch in the form of a grasshopper. Its sinuous, naturalistic form and elegant interpretation of the natural world is a hallmark of this piece. Featuring a mabe pearl body with a lustrous hue and a diamond and ruby set head, it has a delicately carved gold body. This wonderful piece comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
