Vintage 1980 Antigona signed brooch. In overall good condition despite visible patina on the gold plating, a small chip on one corner, and a partially detached element (which does not affect the structural integrity of the piece). Dimensions shown in the photo. Despite these slight signs of age, this brooch remains a beautiful archival and collectible piece, showcasing the craftsmanship of a major French haute-fantaisie atelier.
