Vintage Silver Filigree Guitar or Violin Brooch, Cannetille Wire Work, 1940s

Description: This is a beautiful vintage silver musical instrument brooch, likely representing a guitar or violin, crafted in delicate cannetille wirework — a technique similar to filigree — from the 1940s. The piece features intricate scrolling silver wire with detailed openwork patterns and four tiny articulated strings that move slightly. The brooch has a rolling C-clasp with a pin that extends slightly beyond the catch, typical of mid-century hand craftsmanship. It has been gently polished to reveal its brilliant silver tone, though photos of its natural patina are also included for reference. This elegant vintage brooch is a lovely representation of early cannetille artistry and would make a wonderful gift or a distinctive addition to your vintage jewelry collection.
