1980s Vintage Napier Maple Leaf Brooch
A brilliantly artistic leaf from Napier. 23ct triple gold plated sculpted maple leaf brooch. Features round-cut clear Swarovski crystals and a faux pearl centre. Safety-catch pin closure, signed Napier.
The Maple leaf is the emblem of Canada. It is suggested that The Queen Mother, then Queen Elizabeth, received a maple leaf brooch from George VI before the couple toured Canada in 1939 - Although another version implies it was a gift during the tour of Canada. It was then given to her daughter, our late Queen in 1951 who lent it to The Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Cambridge on their first trips to Canada.
23ct triple gold plate, Swarovski crystal and faux pearl, 7.62 cm x 5.08 cm
