The Arts and Crafts movement was and important period for artists and craftsmen which incorporated more naturalistic motifs and had a lighter feel than the heavier pieces of the Victorian Era. It was a style that preceded Art Nouveau and caused a sensation in fine and decorative arts across the Western world.
This dreamy brooch, or bar pin has a wonderful motif of a swan gliding on a silver lake. Beautifully executed, it's easy to become lost in the tiny world depicted just for you!
