Art Deco sterling silver and marcasite reindeer brooch

Description : An elegant form of a reindeer leaps gracefully leaps into space. This 68mm wide sterling silver and marcasite brooch is a wonderful example of how lively a silhouette shape can appear. The subtle curvature of the outline clearly shows the beauty and spirit of a reindeer. It has a blissful little smile on its face, one of pure joy. Marcasite is actually faceted pyrite, and was used extensively throughout Victorian and Art Deco jewelry design to produce a sparkle. Reindeer are known for their clever resourcefulness and wisdom to survive in harsh climates. Popularized by a poem by Clement C. Moore, the story of St. Nicholas and his 8 reindeer began in 1823.
