Egyptian Revival Silver & Plique a Jour Scarab Brooch

491E
921 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty silver brooch made circa 1910-1920 in the Egyptian Revival style that was popular at the time following the discovery of King Tutankamun’s tomb in 1922. Scarabs were especially popular because not only are they aesthetically pleasing to look at, they also hold the symbolic meaning of rebirth and regeneration. This brooch has been enamelled in the Plique a Jour method, which means that when you hold it up to the light the enamel is transparent. It has also been set with a peridot and two small split pearls.
