Until the 1980s, figurative brooches with finely crafted details belonged in every well-stocked jewellery box. They set original focal points and stimulated conversation: One saw sparkling butterflies, fragrant blossoms, golden fox pins for hunting or even brooches in the shape of diamond-studded bicycles. Our brooch belongs to this environment and shows itself in the form of a decidedly detailed stagecoach. From the 18th century onwards, these carriages were used not only for transporting letters and parcels. They were the most important means of passenger transport and connected the European metropolises on fixed routes and schedules. Even Goethe crossed the Alps in a stagecoach on his way to Italy. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the stagecoach was replaced by the railroad. Our brooch is pulled by two horses. On the buck sits a coachman with a whip and blows the post horn. Made of high karat yellow and white gold, the carriage shows many lovely details. For example, the chain of the horses and the carriage wheels are made to move and the window panes made of rubies and onyx make the interior of the carriage appear illuminated. Small diamonds further enliven the design. According to the hallmark, the brooch was made in Austria and is beautifully preserved. It is a fun as well as precious eye-catcher that can be worn with many outfits.
