A gorgeous sterling silver front Art Nouveau brooch. Lush poppy blooms and a sensual woman are wreathed in voluptuous waves; do the whiplash lines represent her long flowing tresses, or do they represent narcotic smoke rising from the poppies? The woman is represented in profile, her heavy lidded eyes are closed. She wears a headdress that brings French jeweler René Lalique to mind. Women paired with poppies was a very popular motif during this decadent era, and these brooch is a fascinating example of the theme. The piece fasten with c-clasp pins. Circa 1890.
Details.....The brooch measures 1" by 1.25". In Very Good Antique Condition. Some wear should be expected on all vintage and antique pieces, we consider it to be part of their charm.
