Antique Shakudō Brooch – Birds, Blossoms & Moonlit Scene

£3,500.00

Description

A beautifully detailed antique brooch, crafted in the Japanese Shakudō tradition. The circular plaque depicts an exquisite scene of two finely rendered birds nestled amongst flowering branches, with a silver moon rising above a textured landscape. The design showcases delicate mixed-metal inlay work, with warm gold highlights and intricate detailing that bring the natural motif to life.

The plaque is framed in a scalloped gold mount, enhancing the artistry and giving it a striking presentation. Rich in symbolism and craftsmanship, this piece is a wearable work of art and a testament to 19th-century Japanese metalwork adapted for Western jewellery.
