Elegant oval brooch, hand-painted silk in a gold-colored frame. The brooch is signed 'Uhlig' on the back. Made in beautiful, ethereal green, blue, and purple shades. The brooch is pre-owned but in excellent condition.
Uhlig brooches are highly distinctive, collectible vintage accessories that were produced primarily in Germany between the 1950s and 1970s. They are widely praised in the vintage jewelry world as "wearable art" because they combine traditional craftsmanship with bold mid-century modernist designs. The defining element of many Uhlig brooches is a central textile panel – usually fine silk or satin. Artists painted these delicate surfaces with watercolor paint before framing them.
