A pleasingly tactile vintage bow brooch, four pleated and ribbed gold tone lobes gathered at a smooth rounded knot, the fine linear ribbing creating a convincing impression of folded ribbon or grosgrain fabric. The natural darkening to the recesses gives it an attractive depth that a pristine finish would lack, the restrained emphasis on form and texture ageing particularly well.
