Victorian Tiffany & Co. Enamel Peony Brooch band rings It's been a popular subjectDATE: Victorian, c. 1890 A stunning antique Tiffany & Co. flower brooch by G. Paulding Farnum. Dating from the late 19th century, the peony's petals are beautifully constructed in 14k gold and exquisitely rendered in purple enamel, paling towards the centre. The gold stem forms a long, graceful curve, looping back down to the centre of the flower very much influenced by the budding Art Nouveau movement and the gold displays a lovely textured finish.
