Description

Antique ART NOUVEAU 14K Gold Watch - Lapel Pin | Flying Snake Creature Design. A stunning design, the imagery is of a dragon head-like snake body creature with wings. Most unusual! The brooch appears to be made of 3 pieces - the main body/head cast with the wings applied individually. Antique Art Nouveau 14K Gold Watch - Lapel Pin | Flying Snake Creature Design I'm going to try something new. I saw another EBAYER do it once so I am going to try the same. Basically, I have good stuff, I mean REALLY good stuff and I'm tired of this waiting for the "modest" opening bid to even open. So I am doing this, all my greatest finds are priced $1,500 BUY IT NOW with Offers. Of course, that's not what I want but Buyer won't know what I want unless he/she asks or makes an offer. A little unorthodox I know but I know what I am offering price-wise, any potential Buyer looking at this listing knows what I have (why else would he/she be looking), and if that person wants to purchase, just make your BEST OFFER and see what happens. Maybe Buyer will get for less than they thought! Summer is coming so I am motivated to sell! Dating to the early 1900s (Art Nouveau period), may I offer this 14K Yellow Gold (tested not marked) combination watch or lapel pin /brooch. No hallmarks that I can spot but this is DEFINITELY a designer piece, possibly Kerr or Krementz. A stunning design, the imagery is of a dragon head-like snake body creature with wings. Most unusual! The brooch appears to be made of 3 pieces - the main body/head cast with the wings applied individually. Soldering has been cleanly done but on one wing, at the back, the area of solder is very much apparent. The pin measures 1-1/8" high x about 1" wide. As with most Victorian pins, the pinstem sticks out from the c-clasp just a tiny bit; nice long curved hook at the back. Weight is 3.2 grams. The pin was completely black when found (yes, gold does tarnish after 50 years) so I only lightly polished for the photos; if you want a full "all around" high shine, a little more polishing is needed. Priced accordingly. 7535RV/G Postage quoted INCLUDES insurance.
