Vintage Chinese Sterling Vermeil Cloisonné Fan Brooch with Butterflies & Rubies

This vintage brooch features a graceful fan design crafted in silver vermeil with intricate filigree and colorful cloisonné enamel. A large butterfly anchors the lower portion while smaller butterflies, floral motifs, and mixed gemstone cabochons decorate the upper field. Three ruby cabochon drops dangle from the base, adding delicate movement and vibrant color. It dates to approximately the mid-20th century and exemplifies fine Chinese export cloisonné craftsmanship.

Condition is very good vintage condition. The cloisonné enamel remains vibrant with only minor age-related wear. The filigree is intact, the pin functions properly, and the gemstone cabochons and dangling ruby drops are secure. Any minor wear consistent with age is shown in the photographs.
