Vintage Art Nouveau Style Rose Gold-Tone Scroll Brooch with Faux Opal

This item is a vintage openwork brooch featuring an elegant, organic scroll and foliate design, characteristic of the Art Nouveau revival movement. The piece is constructed from a metal alloy with a distinctive rose gold or copper-colored plating. It measures approximately 2 inches in width. The design incorporates a mix of textures, including smooth, high-polish ribbon sections contrasted with Florentine-etched or textured foliate elements that add depth and visual interest. A single, round cabochon-cut faux opal (likely glass or resin with a milky iridescence) is bezel-set at the lower right terminal of the scroll. The pin mechanism on the reverse extends slightly beyond the frame of the brooch, suggesting an early to mid-20th-century manufacture date. The condition appears fair to good; there is a noticeable aged patina and surface oxidation across the metalwork, particularly in the recessed areas. Some loss of the rose-gold plating is visible at the edges, revealing a darker base metal beneath. No visible maker's marks or stamps are discernible from the primary view. The craftsmanship displays solid assembly with balanced proportions, though the patina indicates significant age and previous wear.
