It is has a nice floral design, a classic Art Nouveau piece with acid washed sterling silver creating a satin glow. The piece has been expertly converted to a pin by removing the center piece for the belt. They left the two tines and soldered them in place so it still has the look of being a belt buckle. On the back is a clasp and pin making it a great brooch. It weighs 1.36 troy oz. It is 3 1/8" x 2 3/4". The bottom is inscribed Sterling with the Unger Brothers hallmark. The Unger Bros are one of the most creative and premier manufacturers of Art Nouveau sterling silver items in the United States.

Circa 1890. See less
