1960s Modernist Bunny Brooch
Bonkers vintage rabbit brooch made in Italy in the 1960s. It's highly stylised in the same modernist tradition as the iconic VC&A "Chat Malicieux" brooches, and beautifully made with vivid orange coral for its body and a pastel green Dalmatian serpentine head with a pink sapphire eye. The long ears (could this bunny be a hare?), legs and feet feature a shimmering florentine finish, and it's crafted in 18 carat gold throughout.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
