Featured Antique Silver Pin Woman with Floral Motif

This is another pin from the collection that I inherited. It is silver, I think solid, not marked. It looks like the design was stamped from the back. It measures a little over an inch across. I suspect, once again, early 1900's. It appears to have an art Nouveau motif. I was hoping someone has seen something like this before and may have an idea who the maker is. Once again, thanks for the help, my knowledge of jewelry is very limited.

 

Flower looks like a poppy - confirmed by the bud upper left.

 

I can't find it. Good mystery.

 

There's something about the crispness of the (added later?) sparkle at her throat. All else is ver' smooth, but that is almost jarring in its jaggedness. I'll bet it has been modified.

 

Looks like a copy/reproduction.

 

Since your pin is so small to begin with, which I love, BTW, @Lithographer, I'm hoping you have a super, super Loupe or set of magnifiers you can slap on your eyes!! Not having it in hand, I don't have that kind of magnification available for my computer or phone!! I didn't want distortion so only enlarged 2X and cleaned it up best I could, and de-saturated color out.....I'm just going to point to a couple of areas where I think you might want to look at (IF you haven't already with really GOOD magnification!). The arrow in front of her mouth, I separated that image and rotated......not sure it helps, but it's the ONE where it looks like a "possible" minuscule signature.....

I did take a look at the areas you indicated and they are either raised or depressed areas, unfortunately no marks. I looked at the pin too, same thing, no marks. I did however notice what appears to be a gold wash on the hinge part of the pin. I was wondering if maybe this started life as something else and someone turned into a pin.

 

The back is early 20th.

 

Well, it WAS worth a try!!!!
