$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Arts & Crafts Sterling Silver Luna Moth Butterfly Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Brooch
This is a fine vintage Arts & Crafts marked 925 sterling silver brooch that I believe depicts a slightly stylized brown luna moth rather than a butterfly. The eye like designs on the wings bear a strong resemblance to the moth. It is a good sized brooch, but is hollow so not overly heavy, and it appears to be hand made. The front is decorated in low relief with upper wings defined separately from the lower wings. The eye like decorations are raised above the surface slightly. The surrounding ...
