Damascene Bird Brooch

Damascene Bird Brooch

This stunning brooch is a product of the centuries old Damascene technique. This gorgeous brooch features a bird and flower design.

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 1 ½ inches in diameter and in near mint condition with only a slight amount of wear to the back of the pin.

The clasp is a trombone clasp, popular in the 1940's.
