Symbolic 18-karat gold brooch featuring a sword motif.
This 18-karat gold brooch, crafted in the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts a finely crafted miniature sword, whose hilt is adorned with a red stone and small pearls. A delicate chain, embellished with a pearl, connects the hilt to the blade, evoking the straps of ceremonial weapons.
Preserved in its original blue leather case, decorated with a Cross of Lorraine and gilded fleurs-de-lis, it is representative of the symbolic jewelry produced during this period. These emblems refer to the history of the French monarchy as well as to the values of loyalty, honor, and courage associated with chivalry. The finesse of its craftsmanship and the quality of its details attest to the expertise of French jewelry workshops during the Belle Époque.
Preserved with its original case, this brooch stands as a precious testament to French goldsmithing and the importance placed on jewelry imbued with strong historical and symbolic significance.
