Mid-Century Vintage Silver Unicorn Brooch
Whimsical and full of quiet magic, this mid-20th century silver unicorn brooch captures the enduring allure of mythological creatures and magic with British modernist design. Created by Geoffrey G. Bellamy for George Tarratt and hallmarked for Birmingham, 1958, the piece reflects a period of expressive, unique craftsmanship.
The unicorn is rendered in a stylised, almost sculptural form, its body gently curved, its mane and tail suggested through fluid, simplified lines. There is a sense of motion and grace in its posture, as though it might step lightly out of legend at any moment. The silver surface catches the light softly, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the design.
Long associated with purity, strength, and the otherworldly, the unicorn has been a symbol of enchantment for centuries, appearing in medieval tapestries and folklore as a creature both powerful and elusive. Here, that ancient symbolism is distilled into a refined, wearable form; a striking talisman that feels both modern and timeless.
“We are such stuff
As dreams are made on.”
~ William Shakespeare
