Pique Brooch, Star Pattern
Sun, 02/22/2009 - 19:32 — curator
| Unlike many of the pique pieces we encounter, this one has a substantial part of the design in silver. When first acquired, the silver was barely distinguishable from the surrounding tortoise-shell. Careful restoration, using baking soda and aluminum to reverse the tarnishing process brought it back to life. |
