Francisco Rebajes retail Bow Brooch

This Rebajes copper bow brooch was designed by Frank Rebajes, the master of modernist wearable art jewelry, who created mainly copper jewelry from the 1930s through the 1950s. His pieces are now highly collectible.

The brooch is signed on the back and has the patina that's developed over time. The retail fastening mechanism is in working order, although somewhat sticky, probably from not being used for a while.
