Pat Cheney Scottish Nouveau Jugendstil Sterling Silver Lilac Guilloché Enamel Fan Drop Brooch
Materials and Features:
Scottish Nouveau Fan Architecture: A geometric, revivalist fan silhouette featuring a triangular articulated drop. This design represents the peak of the 1980's Scottish Silver Revival and is a documented book piece by Pat Cheney.
Hand-Applied Lilac Guilloché Enamel: High-luster vitreous glass enamel fired over a machine-turned (engine-turned) silver ground. The lilac pigment is a rare archival colorway, engineered for a deep "rippled" light refraction.
Articulated "Kinetic" Drop: A triangular silver dangle designed for fluid, elegant movement. The joint features a soldered-closed loop, a technical detail that ensures the 4.1g assembly remains secure without adding bulk to the silhouette.
High-Polish Sterling Silver: Solid 925 sterling silver frame, finished with a bright factory polish. The reverse features an intricate "cross-hatch" textured casting for added metallurgical density.
Type: Brooch features a small rounded roll-over catch and bar
