This superb antique dragonfly brooch made by German designer Knoll and Pregizer is set with many clear paste gemstones encrusted on its body and green paste cabochon eyes, modelled in silver.
The combination of diamond-like paste stones and silver in the form of an insect brooch creates an eye-catching and memorable piece that can spark conversations and draw attention due to its distinct design!
Knoll and Pregizer were established in 1887 and quickly made a name for themselves by making silver and paste jewellery, employing the same construction techniques as fine jewellery. The pieces are highly collectable and rare to find!

This desirable antique paste brooch remains in great condition. The paste stones are all well-set and original, with a couple showing very slight discolouration due to age. The pin is sturdy and keeps the brooch very secure while wearing it. Overall, this brooch is stunning and would make a wonderful statement piece.
