Vintage Art Deco Large Egyptian Revival Amethyst Czech Glass and Snakes

Description

Authentic antique Art Deco Egyptian Revival Czech glass brooch. The brooch features a large amethyst glass 18mm x 12mm with no chips or cracks set in a brass setting with multiple 3D snakes weaving around the pin. Given the colors and that snakes were a Victorian symbol of eternal life, this was likely a mourning pin. At the beginning of the mourning period color was prohibited but toward the end some dark colors such as purple were allowed. The pin is in excellent vintage condition with some signs of wear to the metal--see pics. The pin measures 2" wide and 1 3/4" tall. Weighs 15.6 grams. Item will come gift boxed.
