Rare Find Vintage 1940s Italian Signed Micro Mosaic Floral Brooch

🇮🇹 Made in Italy – A Mosaic from the Land of Masters Born in post-war Italy during a revival of heritage arts, this brooch echoes the splendor of the Vatican mosaic studios and the finesse of Florentine goldsmiths. Likely crafted for the tourist elite or sold in Rome’s bustling Via Condotti, it was a souvenir with soul — made to last, signed to endure, and designed to dazzle. 🖼️ Design Mastery – A Frame Within a Frame Shape: Unique diamond (or square-tilted) form with rounded gilt knob accents on all corners — a nod to Byzantine ornamentation. Central Motif: A radiant floral bouquet of daisies and forget-me-nots, encased in a ring of fine blue. Quadrants: Each corner segment is divided into fan-like petals in white, red, blue, lavender, and green — forming a symmetrical mandala of color and geometry. Palette: Earthy, antique tones in muted jewel shades framed in soft, antique gold vermeil, suggesting both delicacy and resilience. Each tiny tile is set by hand using the micro tesserae technique — no larger than a pinhead, yet cut, colored, and arranged with painterly precision.
