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?
