About the Item

This exquisite piece of Stirling silver handmade filigree jewellery is a very fine example. The woven and soldered silver wire is incredibly delicate work. It is formed in five graduated panels in each wing. The distinct body of the butterfly is highlighted in purple and bright turquoise enamel, and at the head, there are two scrolled antennae. The brooch is continental and most likely Maltese or Portuguese in origin. It is marked on a circular silver roundel on the reverse with the words Stirling silver and a central maker’s mark, which is normal for pieces from this region. The hinged pin is fully working and in good condition. It is fitted with a rotating safety catch. This most eye-catching butterfly brooch is in excellent original condition with no repairs or restoration. Continental, circa 1930 Height 3cm x width 5.5cm x depth 1cm
