FAQs

Art Deco enamel pieces from the 1930s typically feature clean geometric lines, stylised natural motifs such as insects and flora, and vibrant vitreous enamel work set within sterling silver.

These items are generally constructed using sterling silver for the structural metalwork and backplate, combined with powdered glass fired at high temperatures to create coloured vitreous enamel details.

Authentic pieces often display makers marks or silver hallmarks on the reverse, hand-applied guilloche or translucent enamel patterns under magnification, and traditional C-clasps or safety pin mechanisms consistent with the period.

While primarily worn as personal accessories, smaller vintage brooches can be mounted in shadow box frames as miniature wall art or pinned onto decorative fabric cushions displayed on shelves.

Enamel is sensitive to impact, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store individually in padded boxes to prevent chipping and scratches.
