Silver Gilt and Enamel Butterfly Brooch, C. 1930

1920 - 1940
Description

A most eye catching and superb quality silver gilt and enamel butterfly brooch, dating to circa 1930.

The brooch is most likely Portuguese in origin and is delicately hand crafted in fine silver filigree, with an 0.800 silver mark. The intricate wings have a warm gilt finish and are beautifully hand decorated with vibrant enamels in shades of blue, purple, pale green and dark green.

The combination of finely worked filigree, gilded silver and vivid enamel gives this charming butterfly brooch an exceptionally lively and decorative appearance.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

During the 1930s, enamel butterfly brooches combined naturalistic motifs with Art Deco styling, frequently utilising silver gilt frames, filigree borders, and vibrant enamel techniques.

These pieces typically feature silver coated with a thin layer of gold, known as silver gilt or vermeil, paired with vitreous enamel fused to the metal surface at high temperatures.

Authentic examples often feature hallmark stamps indicating silver purity, traditional pin mechanisms, delicate hand-finished filigree work, and expected surface wear consistent with age.

An antique brooch can be secured to the lapel of a structured blazer, fastened to a silk scarf, attached to a handbag, or styled alongside modern lapel pins.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, liquids, or ultrasonic devices that could strip the gilding or crack the enamel surface.
