Art Deco Filigree Bar Brooch

This item is an antique or vintage bar brooch, likely dating from the Art Deco period (circa 1920s-1930s), though the user suggests it may be approximately 50 years old. It features an elongated, rectangular silhouette characteristic of Edwardian or Art Deco jewelry. The brooch is crafted with intricate openwork filigree, a technique involving fine metal wires to create a lace-like pattern. It appears to be made of a white metal, which could be 14k white gold, platinum, or sterling silver, often seen in high-quality pieces of this era. The center of the brooch features a circular focal point, potentially set with a small diamond or a gemstone, flanked by symmetrical geometric patterns. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of detail, with milgrain edging—a beaded texture on the metal borders—adding to its vintage aesthetic. While the image is slightly blurred, the piece appears to be in relatively good condition, though it displays some darkening or patina consistent with age and natural oxidation of the metal. The item is presented in a modern, dark-padded jewelry box with cotton padding, which may not be original to the piece. There are no maker's marks visible in the photograph, but such marks would typically be located on the reverse pin mechanism or the inner frame.
