Vintage Gold-Tone Heart and Floral Filigree Brooch

This item is a decorative vintage brooch, measuring approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in width, crafted from a gold-tone base metal. The design features a prominent openwork heart frame with an intricate scalloped filigree edge and a twisted rope-style border inside the decorative scrollwork. Centered within the heart are two stylised flowers with five petals each, supported by elegant, curved stems and leaves. Each flower is set with a small, white imitation seed pearl in the center. The construction appears to be cast metal with a high-polish finish on the petals and a more textured, antiqued finish on the filigree areas. While no specific maker's mark is visible from the front, the style is characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The metal shows some light surface scratches and minor patina consistent with age, but the overall condition is good with both faux pearls intact. The c-clasp pin mechanism is visible through the openwork design, appearing functional. The craftsmanship reflects typical mass-produced costume jewelry of the era, focusing on romantic and feminine motifs.
