Large vintage Art Deco faux turquoise glass cabochon, clear paste rhinestone and gold tone filigree Czech flower brooch, Max Neiger style
Very large vintage Art Deco brooch with beautiful detailing. The ornate gold tone filigree setting is gorgeous in the style of Czech makers in the Gablonz area in the 1920s and 30s. There are clear paste rhinestones and gorgeous turquoise glass cabochons.
Max and Norbert Neiger were known to make lots of floral brooches of this type - it is hard to determine if this piece could have been by the Neiger brothers. There were lots of makers and copies of their work at that time, but this piece is of a lovely quality. This brooch is a large size with a diameter of just over 2 inches. It fastens with a roll-over clasp and pin on the reverse. It is in very good vintage condition - there are some slight kinks to the pin as shown in the close-ups, but this doesn't affect its function.
