Antique Parrot Brooch with Paste Accents in Silver

Bring a touch of the exotic to your collection with this delightful Victorian-era parrot brooch, a whimsical yet elegant jewel that evokes the vibrant spirit of the tropics. Crafted in silver with a subtle gold overlay, this charming piece is intricately detailed and adorned with green, red, and colorless paste accents that shimmer playfully in the light.

Dating to 1880-1900, the brooch captures the Victorian fascination with the natural world, when exotic birds were a symbol of both beauty and far-flung adventure. The piece remains in good condition, with only minor wear to the paste and pearls visible under magnification, a testament to its age and authenticity.
