Sentimental enameled silver brooch, featuring a colorless glass heart surrounding a pair of birds, surmounted by a crown and surrounded by glass. Late 19th century. Height: approx. 4.5 cm. Gross weight: 21.2 g (chips, reverse side fitted with a mirror). The Bresse enamel technique was very popular in the Bourg-en-Bresse region from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. It is characterized by jewelry enamelled with polychrome flowers on a guilloché background. The jewel we offer is a version embellished with glass paste to evoke precious jewels, an "enhanced" version of the basic model.
