This exquisite antique Danish silver brooch is a captivating testament to the enduring power of art & love. Without any apparent maker marks, this piece remains shrouded in mystery, adding to its allure & charm. Artistic Inspiration: The centrepiece of this magnificent brooch is a depiction of cupid gracefully riding atop a majestic eagle. This evocative image draws its inspiration from an 1829 pencil-on-paper drawing by the Danish master artist, Christen Kobke (1810-1845). It is a sublime representation of love's ability to soar to great heights, both in the realms of art & emotion. Craftsmanship: The brooch, a rare & generously proportioned creation, showcases the repouss style, a technique that imparts depth & texture to its surface. The ornate rococo-inspired border, with its intricate & stylised details, adds an air of sophistication & opulence to the piece. Historical Significance: Crafted from lower-grade silver, this brooch carries the patina of time, enhancing its historic appeal. Its substantial size, measuring L64.7mm x W51.8mm, & weight of 25.3 grams, make it a statement accessory, destined to turn heads & start conversations. With a central pin & a secure roll-over catch on the back, this brooch combines beauty with practicality, ensuring comfortable wear & peace of mind for its wearer. Timeless Beauty: Remarkably preserved, this brooch stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classical influences. Although it hails from the early 20th century, it retains the essence of earlier artistic periods, seamlessly bridging the gap between history & modernity. A Symbolic Gift: As a gift, this brooch is more than just jewelry; it is a symbol of enduring love & artistic appreciation. Its uniqueness & historical significance make it a truly extraordinary choice for that special person in your life. Present them with this brooch, & you'll be offering a tangible piece of art & a timeless expression of love that transcends the ages.
