Original by Robert gold-plated vintage butterfly brooch designed to resemble a white and yellow butterfly in the Pieridae family (such as an albatross or white/sulphur butterfly species), featuring enameled or painted wings with dark margins and a dark glass stone body. True to the artistic background of the company's lead designer, Robert Levy, the hallmark plaque is cleverly shaped like an artist's palette. Founded in New York City in 1942 as the Fashioncraft Jewelry Company, the line officially rebranded as Robert Originals in the 1960s. The company produced highly coveted, intricately detailed pieces until closing its doors in 1979. (Please note, as expected and in line with the age there is some age appropriate wear on the black enamel on the antennae and is priced accordingly. )
*Vintage pieces are pre-owned. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replaced. We will provide as much information as possible about the item's condition, including additional pictures if needed. Due to the nature of antique and vintage items, there may be blemishes, nicks, or other imperfections as expected with age and use. All items are sold “As Is”.
