Guglielmo Cini Gold over Sterling Brooch with Celluloid
Amber Cabochon
This is a
fairly large brooch, 3 1/8" W x 1 3/8" L x 3/8" H.
The design is a double horizontal bouquet of 5 petal
flowers with a celluloid (cellulose acetate) amber
cabochon at the center. The sterling was oxidized then
gold was added on top to create a beautiful antiqued
finish. The signature is stamped on the reverse ~ what
appears to be a fleur de Lis then G. CINI STERLING.
This is a lovely cast design with the usual fine
details of a Cini design. At each side of the cabochon
are raised beads and the bezel collar has a lovely
foliate pattern. The condition is excellent.
