Damascene Bird and Flora Brooch

Damascene Bird and Flora Brooch

This pretty brooch is a product of the centuries old Damascene technique. The brooch features a bird and flower design with a filigree gold colouredmetal border.

Damascene patterns are obtained by engraving deep, patterned cuts into steel and then placing a gold foil into the lines of the design. This foil is hammered until the gold (usually 14 or 18 karat) penetrates into the cuts, forming the design. The back of all Damascene pieces are finished with gold metal. Toledo, Spain is the world's largest center of production of Damascene.

This brooch is an outstanding example of this ancient skill. The brooch is 5cms in diameter and in near mint condition.
