An extraordinary vintage Réminiscence Paris statement brooch, attributed to Zoé Coste, featuring intricate embossed metalwork and a dramatic articulated design.
Beautifully crafted in warm gold-tone metal, this oversized brooch features an ornate scalloped upper section decorated with floral, starburst and geometric patterns. Suspended beneath are multiple individually articulated elements, creating wonderful movement and an eye-catching cascading silhouette.
The intricate surface detailing gives the piece an almost antique, tribal-inspired appearance, characteristic of the bold and imaginative French costume jewellery designs of the late 20th century.
The reverse bears the circular Réminiscence Paris maker’s stamp.
