1980s Large Monet Abstract Textured Oval Brooch
Description
Monet was founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1929 by brothers Michael and Jay Chernow in 1929. Monet made high quality costume jewellery that was known as “wearable art”. This impressively sized brooch is crafted from a warm gold-hued metal with a mottled, textured surface that looks like it has been hammered. It is a circular shape with a large cut-out hole in the centre - a typically abstract design from the era. At the rear, there is a long clasp which is secured with a C-clasp. It is engraved “Monet” on a gold-toned plaque on the rear. In superb vintage condition.
