A captivating antique brooch from the late 19th century, this enamel portrait piece embodies the elegance and storytelling of the Art Nouveau era (circa 1890–1910). Hand-painted in rich detail, the brooch depicts a regal female warrior—possibly a Valkyrie or goddess—donning a golden helmet adorned with glistening rose-cut diamonds. Her profile is framed by a deep red guilloché enamel background that radiates like a sunburst, adding brilliance and dimensionality.
Set in warm gold and fitted with an open C-clasp, this piece reflects the finest Art Nouveau-style craftsmanship. Whether worn or displayed, this jewel bridges wearable art and historical legacy.
A remarkable collector’s piece with timeless aesthetic and mythological charm.
