Belle Époque c.1900 French Rolled Gold Lady Motif Antique Brooch

This rare and remarkable survivor from the Art Nouveau era dates from c.1900. 

Condition Report:

Good - Some rubbing to the plating on the reverse of the brooch - this is not visible when the brooch is being worn. One purple stone is perhaps a later replacement, as it is more faceted than the other. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the brooch.
