A wonderful & rare Paris flea market find!
One of our favorite parts of visiting Paris - the flea markets! We were informed this is an antique brooch, a signed watercolor. Covered… by Glass? Other? Signature may be “Crest“.
Nicely sized! We believe esti circa 1900. Could be earlier. We are going based on the info we were given, & clasp would work in this timeframe. It sure would help if we could find the artist. Likely a tourist piece from the era. Can’t guarantee.
Unknown metal material. Lovely, pretty details. Closure appears to be some sort of trombone style clasp, which we understand was used & popular in France late 1840s-1940s. It does work, but seems to loosen from time to time. Could be that we’re just not fastening it correctly. Does have a bit of a swoop in it. Perhaps if you straighten, it will help.
Some tarnish, & can use a good overall cleaning. Including part that covers the painting, w/smudges around the edges. Afraid to use the wrong solution, will leave cleaning up to the new owner.
Painting itself appears to be in VG condition; we do see a mark on the very edge, near frame, under T in artists signature. Cleaning will surely brighten the image.
