Vintage Boucher Modernist Flame Twist Brooch Rhodium Plated 1940s

This is an authentic Marcel Boucher brooch, design 3132, corresponding to U.S. Design Patent Des. 159,590, filed November 25, 1949 and issued August 8, 1950. This example is marked PAT. PEND., identifying it as an early, pre-patent-production brooch created before the patent was granted. The piece showcases Boucher’s sophisticated modernist style, with a long tapered spiral body and a sharply angled openwork crest that matches the original patent drawings exactly. The brooch is signed BOUCHER, numbered 3132, and stamped PAT. PEND. Finished in bright rhodium plating, the brooch has a striking sculptural presence that reflects the refined abstract jewelry Boucher produced at the end of the 1940s. Details: - Marks: BOUCHER, PAT.
