Antique 15ct Gold Art Nouveau Brooch Murrle Bennett Co Turquoise Pearl Drop, Liberty Era, 5g

Antique Murrle Bennett & Co. 15ct Gold, Turquoise & Seed Pearl Art Nouveau Drop Brooch — Circa 1900

Step back into the golden age of the Arts & Crafts movement with this exceptional antique brooch by the highly celebrated Anglo-German design house Murrle Bennett & Co. Renowned for their avant-garde designs, their pieces were famously retailed by Liberty & Co., London at the turn of the 20th century.

This particular piece is an outstanding testament to the era, crafted from highly desirable 15ct yellow gold — a much rarer and more sought-after purity than the more common 9ct or sterling silver variants typically found on the market.

Design & Details

The brooch boasts a beautiful, naturalistic Art Nouveau openwork silhouette featuring fluid, sweeping whiplash lines. At its heart sits a stunning, bezel-set oval matrix turquoise cabochon, perfectly accented by two delicate natural seed pearls nestled within the gold wirework scrolls. Suspended below is a matching, articulated turquoise drop that catches the light beautifully with every movement.
