Remarkable is surely the best descriptor to use for this large, beautifully executed Mid-20th Century French "Bird on a Branch" brooch. The wonderful creature's large head, open beak, and bezel set green chrysophase eye, all contribute to the allure and interest of this unique article. Sitting atop a branch of orange Mediterranean coral, it is at once bold, dramatic and whimsical. This unusual jewel is certain to bring a smile of true admiration to all who observe it. The piece measures 2 1/8 inches in height by 1 3/4 inches in width by 1 inch in depth. On the pin and body, French assay marks as well as the maker's touch-marks are to be found. Said touch-marks are unfortunately obscure but clearly, this is the work of excellent French designers and makers. Gross weight 38.80 grams.
