Butterfly Wing Panel Bracelet Thomas L Mott Silver Island Scene C 1924

Boxed as shown
A beautiful early example of Thomas L Mott butterfly wing jewellery. A bracelet with four panels all in excellent condition, super scenes of tropical beeches, palm trees and sea. The shimmering blue of the wings still dazzling as the clear sky. Set in solid sterling silver linked with pretty little deco panels. Founded in England (Birmingham) in 1875 by Thomas L Mott, TLM was the most famous English jewellery brand that set the fashion for jewellery with butterfly wings. At the beginning of the 20th century, when moving from the Victorian to the Georgian era, artists looked for new, brighter materials that dictated fashion and time. In fact, TOMAS L MOTT revolutionized design by releasing a unique collection with wings of real tropical butterflies. The picture is painted onto the reverse of the glass an placed over the wing and inside the frame. These items were a great attraction at the Great Exhibition in 1924.
