Exquisite Silver & Enamel Brooch of Woman in Kokoshnik Headdress, Circa 1890

Step back to the elegance of an Imperial age with this extraordinary enamel brooch, capturing the regal profile of a woman in traditional kokoshnik headdress. Her attire, painted in vibrant reds and adorned with intricate detailing, speaks to the rich cultural tapestry of her time. The artist has rendered her expression and attire with such care that she appears to be a historical figure gazing out from a bygone era, perhaps a noblewoman or cherished icon of folklore.

Encased in a silver frame, this brooch measures 48.5 mm north to south and 42 mm across, and it weighs 17.27 grams. The craftsmanship suggests a late 19th-century creation, around 1890, embodying the aesthetics of Eastern European art with its refined enamel work and symbolic headdress.

An artistic treasure, this brooch is not only an accessory but a portrait—a window to a world of mystery, beauty, and tradition.
