Designed during Marcel Boucher’s celebrated early 1950s sculptural metalwork period, this vintage brooch (design 379R) showcases the refined botanical abstraction that defined Boucher’s own mid‑century design language. Two interlocking feather‑like forms sweep across the piece in radiating bars and twisted rope elements — motifs closely associated with Boucher’s personal metalwork studies of the era.
The gold‑tone plating is bright, intact, and without noticeable wear, exceptional for a vintage piece and a testament to careful storage. The brooch retains its crisp dimensional relief and clean engineering on the reverse, with the expected (C) BOUCHER hallmark and the 379R design number confirming its early‑1950s origin.
This piece represents Boucher’s shift away from rhinestone‑heavy designs toward couture‑inspired sculptural forms. A strong example for collectors of mid‑century costume jewelry, Boucher metalwork, and botanical abstraction.
