RARE 1939 CROWN TRIFARI ALFRED PHILIPPE SWISS PAIR PETER AND HELEN BROOCH BOOK. AN ULTRA RARE SWISS COUPLE - HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE STATEMENT MAKERS. THE PAIR IS COMPLETED IN A RHODIUM PLATED FINISH WITH ENAMELING AND RHINESTONES. THE PAIR ARE FEATURED IN THE HIGHLY PRESTIGIOUS BRUNIALTI BOOK, AMERICAN COSTUME JEWELRY VOL. 2, ON PAGE 73, AND RECEIVED 4 OUT OF 5 STAR FOR RARITY AND COLLECTIBILITY. THE BROOCHES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED AT SOME TIME SINCE 1939 FROM CLIPS TO MORE EASILY WORN PINS. UNFORTUNATELY, DURING THIS ERA THE TRIFARI MARK WOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED AT THE TOP OF THE CLIP WHICH IS NOW GONE. HOWEVER, HELEN IS SIGNED ON HER LEGS WITH THE TRIFARI DES. 113523, AND PETER IS SIGNED ON ONE LEG WITH THE TRIFARI PAT. OTHER THAN THE CONVERSION, THERE IS SOME LOSS OF ENAMEL ON BOTH BROOCHES, AND AGING TO THE PAVE CRYSTAL RHINESTONES. THE HELEN BROOCH IS 1 3/8.
THE PETER BROOCH IS 1 1/8. _gsrx_vers_1480 GS 9.1.1 (1480). This item is in the category "Jewelry & Watches\Vintage & Antique Jewelry\Brooches & Pins". The seller is "robnum1" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
