Please take a moment to read the entire description and view all of the photographs. Presented is an antique c. 1885 mixed metals brooch by George Shiebler. It is shaped as a naturalistic leaf in handwrought silver.
It has textured detailing and its original satin finish. At the center of the leaf is a superbly detailed copper beetle. Shieblers mixed metal bug pieces are my favorite.
3 1/8 long by 15/16 at the widest point. Fine original finish front and back, appealing coloration on the copper. Sales are final unless an item is found to be meaningfully misdescribed.
