This exceptional brooch is in the design of oak leaves and other leaves and a chestnut. Brooch has a brassy finish. It is very large in size with lots of imagination put into this fabulous brooch. Is it old? I think it is a reproduction of an old design. Regardless it's fantastic and no one will know the difference but you. It measures 3 1/4 in.'s across, 2 1/4 in.'s height. Like new condition. And waiting for some one that recognizes great design when they see it.
