Measuring c. 7/8" dia long it is pretty piece with the gorgeous reverse painted picture sat behind a clear cover set to a 16" inch barrel clasp chain. Marked for Sterling Silver and the Patent Number 202213, it is a gorgeous piece in the nicest of vintage condition and will certainly not disappoint!. Thomas Mott (TLM) exhibited his beautiful reversepainted butterfly wing jewellery at the British Empire Exhibition of 1924. His company was the largest producer of butterfly wing jewelry in the 1920"s/1930"s. Becoming a favourite accessory of the Art Deco period, these pieces are now becoming highly sought after and collected. It was in 1922 that Shipton Co of England applied for the patent (202212 & 202213) for the design of using Butterfly Wings for the production of pictures, but it is generally Mott that is credited with their rise in popularity For more information follow this link http//www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/25753-english-butterfly-wing-jewellery   Date1930  ConditionExcellent Vintage  Price£ 59.00  Free UK Delivery
