Description
This vintage brooch by ART is a classic piece inspired by Victorian jewelry. The round black onyx stone is beautifully complemented by the goldtone metal and seed pearl accents. The brooch is signed by the maker and measures 1 7/8" in length. Very nice pre-owned vintage condition ! "Mode-Art, a jewelry company founded in New York City in the late 1940s, was owned by Arthur Pepper. This "ART" mark was used after 1955 as indicated by the copyright symbol. The company also used the mark "Mode Art" on its pieces. Mode-Art competed directly with Florenza in terms of style, but the founders of both companies counted one another as friends."
