Late 1940s French Plaire Artists Palette Brooch

This quirky 1940s French artist palette brooch produced by Plaire is for all the artists and art lovers out there. An arc of six bezel set cabochons in pastel tones take the place of paint. It’s so much more unique than the usual primary colors! This stylized painters palette is a little piece of art itself decorated in suede, art glass, and two abstract paint brushes.

Condition

Very Good vintage condition, slight loss to plating and very minor fading to suede all consistent with age and use. There are some scratches on the back of the brooch (see photos). Please note some bubbles might be present in the glass stones, this is a natural occurrence from the manufacturing process.

Hallmark
