During this era, insects were frequently used as decorative motifs, often symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. This piece features a segmented body set with a gradation of faceted glass stones, ranging from warm, honey-like tones to clearer hues, which provides a sense of depth and visual interest. The eyes are distinctively set with two small red glass stones, contributing to the lifelike expression of the creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brooch is constructed from a brass-based metal with hand-forged details, reflecting the expressive craftsmanship of Italian workshops from the turn of the century. The legs are angled to create a sense of movement, a common stylistic choice in Victorian and Edwardian novelty jewelry. Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, the piece retains its original pin clasp on the reverse. This brooch serves as a wearable example of late Victorian novelty jewelry, illustrating the period's fascination with the natural world and whimsical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Details]\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Italy\u003cbr\u003e• Era: Late Victorian to Early Edwardian (circa 1890s-1900s)\u003cbr\u003e• Style: Naturalistic \/ Whimsical Novelty Brooch\u003cbr\u003e• Materials: Brass\/Metal Base, Multi-colored Faceted Glass Stones\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensions: Approx. 2.0 inches (5.0 cm) in length\u003cbr\u003e• Motif: Spider \/ Insect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Condition Report]\u003cbr\u003e• Overall Condition: Excellent antique condition with light wear consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE GILZO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52110234845485,"sku":null,"price":369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/6887\/3261\/files\/KakaoTalk_20260528_153753076_01.jpg?v=1780558065","url":"https:\/\/lumie-9571.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-italian-insect-red-glass-and-brass-spider-brooch-circa-1890s-1900s","provider":"THE GILZO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
