Vintage Solvar Sterling Silver Swan Brooch, Celtic Children of Lir Design
€192.00
Elegant brooch depicting four sinuous swans in flight.
Swans feature heavily in Celtic mythology, and this brooch was inspired by the tragic Irish legend of the 4 Children of Lir siblings, Fionnuala, Aodh, Fiachra, and Conn, who were transformed into swans by their jealous stepmother, Aoife, for 900 years.
Hallmarked to back: the control mark for sterling silver, a 925 stamp, "SD" makers mark for Solvar (stamped twice), and I believe the date mark S (although it is very small and hard to read) for 1983.
Approximate measurements: 4.5 x 4cm; 8.7g.
Excellent vintage condition with no noted flaws.
Please note that this item includes free, UNTRACKED shipping. If you would like registered TRACKING, you may PURCHASE this for an additional fee in my SHIPPING OPTIONS.
