  • ObjectBrooches
  • Period1920 - 1940
  • StyleMid-Century Modern
  • MaterialSilver, Enamel
  • ColourMulticoloured
  • MotifsFloral pattern, Openwork frame, Vitreous enamel

Mid-century enamel pieces often feature vibrant, applied vitreous glass colours set within silver or base metal frames, frequently depicting floral, abstract, or geometric motifs popular during the 1940s and 1950s.

These items typically utilise sterling silver frameworks combined with plique-a-jour or cloisonne enamelling techniques, where powdered glass is fused to metal via high-temperature kiln firing.

Authenticity is usually verified through makers marks, silver hallmarks denoting the assay office and purity standard, and natural signs of age such as gentle oxidisation on the metal reverse.

Vintage pins can be worn traditionally on lapels, fastened to scarves, or pinned to structured hats and bags to add a touch of historic colour and texture to contemporary outfits.

Enamel should be gently cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive brushes that can crack the glass paste or damage the silver.
