DESCRIPTION

A gold-tone figural brooch of a jester or clown caught mid-stride, balancing an oversized parasol above his head. Glossy purple trousers, a split green-and-yellow jacket, tiny gold-tone shoes and a textured brimmed hat give him theatrical dimension, and the parasol edge is set with alternating purple, green and golden-yellow glass-like stones beneath curling enamel ribbons.

WORTH NOTING

  • Figural jester or clown with parasol
  • Gold-tone metal
  • Purple, green and yellow enamel
  • Purple, green and golden-yellow glass-like stones on the parasol
  • Textured reverse with elongated pin stem
  • Enamel and stone materials not tested
  • No maker's mark recorded

MEASUREMENTS

  • Approx. 2.25" W × 3" H

CONDITION

Good pre-owned condition with light signs of age and handling. Please review photographs for details. Light surface wear and scattered darkening appear on the gold-tone reverse. The enamel remains bright and the parasol stones appear present; the pin stem and catch are in place, but fastening has not been tested.

STYLE NOTES

Pin him to a black blazer or a jewel-toned coat for Mardi Gras or a night at the circus.
