Description
Rare historical stag beetle brooch made of gold-plated silver with tiger eye and seed bead trimming. The autumnal, life-size designed crawling animal shows itself in detailed and exquisite execution. While its entire substructure, limbs, head and antlers are in chased and gilded silver, the body is decorated with caboch-cut, tiger eye. The beetle's head is decorated with seed pearls and its eyes with two tiny purple coloured stones. The brooch closes on its back with a well functioning needle clasp.
The impressive little animal was created around 1880 in Berlin and is a small masterpiece of goldsmithing. It fits wonderfully into the autumn months and to many outfits.

Dimensions of the tiger eye: 16.4 x 12.1 cm.
Diameter of seed beads: 1.3 mm.
