Description
A Whimsical Masterpiece of the Art Deco Era . We are exceptionally proud to offer a highly collectible and exquisitely crafted antique Tiffany & Co. brooch, accompanied by its original presentation box. Fashioned as a playful, stylized dog—resembling a spirited terrier or poodle—this piece perfectly captures the charm, luxury, and artistic innovation of early 20th-century high jewelry.
Dating to the Art Deco era (circa 1920s–1930s), this brooch reflects a fascinating period in jewelry history. As the rigid geometry of early Art Deco began to soften, jewelers introduced more playful, dimensional, and figurative motifs. Animal jewelry became highly fashionable among high-society clientele, serving as conversation starters and expressions of personal whimsy.
This particular piece showcases incredible gold craftsmanship characteristic of the transitional late-Deco to early-Retro period. The dog is formed using dynamic, ribbon-like ribbons of 14K yellow gold to create curled legs, ears, and a playful tail, giving the piece a wonderful sense of movement. The luxurious details elevate it to a true work of art: a bright bezel-set diamond serves as the eye, four vibrant pinkish-red rubies create a striking collar, and the dog’s midsection/saddle is encrusted with brilliant pavĂ©-set diamonds set in white precious metal (a standard technique of the era to enhance the diamonds’ white fire). Complete with finely crafted wire whiskers, this brooch is a testament to Tiffany & Co.’s legendary attention to detail.
The accompanying box, with its silk lining proudly stamped “TIFFANY & CO / NEW YORK / PARIS LONDON,” places this piece exactly in the golden age of Tiffany’s global expansion.
