Antique 18k French Eagle Brooch c.1900

Poised in mid-flight, this breathtaking brooch captures the precise moment a raptor tilts its wings and dives, its feathers carved in astonishing detail, its eyes fixed on something far below. It’s a piece that seems to move even at rest, a triumph of craftsmanship and symbolism. Birds in flight have long been emblems of vision, freedom, and the soul’s higher aspirations. This one, with its majestic wingspan and fierce gaze, soars with all the elegance of the Belle Époque.

Handcrafted in France around 1900, this brooch is rendered in rich 18 karat gold and bears the French eagle’s head hallmark. It measures 66 mm across the wings, 16 mm north to south, and rises 6 mm in relief. The weight is a substantial 9.95 grams. The reverse is fitted with a sturdy pin and tubular clasp, typical of the period.

This is more than a brooch, it’s a flight captured in gold, an ornament for someone who values grace, power, and artistry all at once.
