Vintage cupid's arrow ornate festoon brooch in antique silver tone. The design is gorgeous and whimsical with a large cupid's arrow embellished with clear rhinestones at the top, with asymmetric dangles of items representing love beneath. There is an ornate 'key to my heart', an engraved heart shaped locket which is hinged and fully functional and finally a figure of cupid.

This brooch is unsigned but it very much reminds me of pieces by Askew London or Joseff of Hollywood - I love this style. I don't have the brooch's provenance and I can't find another like it - or even the component parts, I can't yet confirm the maker. Early pieces sold in the Askew London boutique off Oxford Street in London were not signed, and this seems the most likely designer in my view. The brooch is in very good vintage condition.
