This vintage Damascene brooch is a beautifully crafted depiction of a sailboat, measuring approximately 1.5 inches. The hull of the ship is adorned with intricate etched designs in a rich gold and copper-tone metal, characteristic of traditional Spanish Damascene work. The most eye-catching feature of this piece is its three billowing sails, which are made from luminous mother-of-pearl or faux pearl material. The soft, iridescent sheen of the sails contrasts elegantly with the metallic structure of the boat, evoking the look of a majestic ship on open waters. The brooch is marked “Spain” on the back, and features a secure pin clasp. A wonderful addition for collectors of nautical or Damascene jewelry, this piece is both charming and unique, capturing the artistry and romance of seafaring adventures. ****PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS FOR CLOSEUPS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
