This stylish brooch was created in the 1980s. It is identical in style and construction to a parrot brooch produced during the decade by Christian Dior. However, this example is unsigned. 

Condition Report:

Very Good - A couple of filed patches on the reverse of the brooch where something has potentially been removed - perhaps a signature cartouche?

This wonderful and rare Duette clip brooch was designed by Adolph Katz for Coro in c.1942. 

Condition Report:

Very Good - A tiny element of darkening to a couple of the paste stones and a little rubbing to the enamel on the antennae and legs of the bees. This is consistent with age and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
