Description
This is a vintage 1941 Art Deco Crown Trifari Spaney rhinestone orchid pin designed by Alfred Spaney for Trifari in 1941. It has graduating orchids amid long fancy curled and twisted ribbons and leaves. The metal is rhodium plated and it has the old crown Trifari mark and a 1941 DES PAT patent mark of 129319. Some of the rhinestones have dulled with age but most are still bright, white, and clear. Overall, the entire pin is very sparkly and showy. The silver rhodium plating is still all intact having only light minor surface scratches from age. It has not been cleaned or polished in many, many years. Condition is excellent, gently used. Size is large at 3 3/4″ long by 1 5/8″ across the center. This is a gorgeous, early, Crown Trifari pin by a well know Art Deco designer for your vintage signed costume jewelry collection.
