Mid-Century Gold Otter Bar Brooch
A delightful celebration of one of Britain's most endearing native animals...
Beautifully crafted by the esteemed British jewellers Cropp & Farr, this charming mid 20th century 9ct gold bar brooch features a wonderfully realistic otter captured in playful motion. Finely modelled, the little creature appears to scamper effortlessly across the pin, its lively pose and naturalistic detail bringing a wonderful sense of movement and character to the piece.
Long admired for their intelligence, curiosity and joyful nature, otters have long symbolised playfulness, resilience and strong family bonds. Equally at home on land and in water, they are often seen as emblems of adaptability and finding happiness in life's simple moments, making them a wonderfully meaningful motif to wear.
Combining exceptional craftsmanship with a touch of whimsy, this delightful brooch is both elegant and full of personality; a timeless piece that is certain to bring a smile each time it is worn.
“What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood?”
