A beautifully detailed antique brooch, crafted in the Japanese Shakudō tradition. The circular plaque depicts an exquisite scene of two finely rendered birds nestled amongst flowering branches, with a silver moon rising above a textured landscape. The design showcases delicate mixed-metal inlay work, with warm gold highlights and intricate detailing that bring the natural motif to life.
The plaque is framed in a scalloped gold mount, enhancing the artistry and giving it a striking presentation. Rich in symbolism and craftsmanship, this piece is a wearable work of art and a testament to 19th-century Japanese metalwork adapted for Western jewellery.
• Medium: Shakudō (copper and gold alloy) with silver and gold accents
• Design: Birds, blossoms, and moonlit landscape
• Mount: Decorative scalloped gold frame
• Origin: Likely late 19th century, Meiji era influence
• Condition: Excellent antique condition with beautiful patina
A rare collector’s jewel for admirers of Japanese artistry and antique jewellery.
