Modernist Silver-Tone Stylized Wing Brooch

This item is a modernist-style brooch featuring a stylized, abstract wing or flame-like silhouette. It is crafted from a bright, high-polish silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver or a high-quality silver-plated base metal. The piece measures approximately 2.75 inches (7 cm) in length, as indicated by the accompanying tape measure. The construction is characterized by dramatic vertical fluting and undulating curves that create a sense of movement and depth through light reflection. The front surface is exceptionally smooth with a mirror-like finish, while the reverse is noted to have a textured brushed or Florentine finish, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century jewelry design often used to hide scratches and add a premium tactile feel. The condition appears excellent with minimal surface abrasions and no visible oxidation or pitting. The design aesthetic is consistent with the Brutalist or Modernist movements of the 1960s or 1970s, prioritizing form and texture over representational detail. The craftsmanship suggests a cast piece that has been hand-finished to achieve its high-luster surface.
