Vintage Brass Brooch. Hangs about 2.75" and is 2" wide. Good condition.
This striking vintage brass brooch is a quintessential example of mid-century Spanish souvenir jewelry. Measuring 2.75 inches long, the piece features an articulated matador figure that hangs elegantly from a decorative horizontal bar topped with a regal crown crest. The "shadowbox" style of the crown and the textured stamping of the bullfighter’s traditional "traje de luces" (suit of lights) showcase the intricate metalwork popular in 1960s European travel mementos.
The warm, antiqued patina of the brass gives the piece an "Old World" feel, making it a perfect addition to a Dark Academia wardrobe or a collection of ethnic-inspired accessories. Its articulated movement adds a dynamic quality to the brooch, allowing the figure to swing gently when worn on a lapel or heavy coat. In good vintage condition, this brooch captures the drama and artistry of the Spanish bullfight in a wearable, sculptural form. It is a bold, conversation-starting piece for those who appreciate the intersection of history, travel, and style.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old.
