Kreisler Gold Toned Stylized Floral Circle Brooch - A circular brooch featuring a stylized bouquet of three five-petaled flowers set within a flat-faced ring. The flowers are designed with raised, dome-shaped centers and are attached to slender stems that are gathered and tied at the center with a simple band. The lowest stem continues downward, terminating in a decorative spiral. The front surfaces of the floral arrangement and the frame exhibit a fine brushed texture. The brooch is composed of a gold-toned metal. The pin stem bears an incised mark in uppercase block letters that reads KREISLER. The piece is secured by a horizontal pin stem with a rolling safety clasp. Measures approximately 1.5 inches across the widest point. The item is in fair vintage condition. There is significant dark oxidation and tarnish across the reverse of the frame, stems, and solder joints (photo 3). Surface tarnish and discoloration are present on the pin stem and the rolling clasp (photo 3). Minor wear to the gold-toned finish is visible on the high points of the dome-shaped flower centers and along the edges of the circular frame (photo 1). Small dark spots of oxidation are visible on the front petals of the flowers (photo 2).
