Product code: Sterling Silver Carved Celluloid & deals Enamel Rose Brooch, Germany
This beautiful vintage brooch is stamped Sterling on the back of the stem, and Germany, along with deals a hallmark that I don't recognize, behind the flower. The rose is made of carved celluloid, and the stem and rose bud are enameled sterling silver with tiny marcasites. One of the marcasites on the rose bud is missing.
It looks like the enamel on part of the stem might be missing, although I can't tell for sure if it was made that way. The sterling silver on the back shows patina and surface wear due to its age.
