Small, Early 1900s Brooch, Albert Roi Des Belges (King Albert I Of Belgium)

This is another flea market find of today. The brooch is smaller than a nickel. No others like this one are on the web, from what I could find. No clue where the seller got it from.

Thanks to kyratango for the identification of the enamel work, Champlevé.

Via Wikipedia:

"Champlevé is an enameling technique in the decorative arts, or an object made by that process, in which troughs or cells are carved, etched, die struck, or cast into the surface of a metal object, and filled with vitreous enamel. The piece is then fired until the enamel fuses, and when cooled the surface of the object is polished. The uncarved portions of the original surface remain visible as a frame for the enamel designs; typically they are gilded in medieval work.[1] The name comes from the French for "raised field", "field" meaning background, though the technique in practice lowers the area to be enameled rather than raising the rest of the surface. The technique has been used since ancient times, though it is no longer among the most commonly used enameling techniques. Champlevé is suited to the covering of relatively large areas, and to figurative images, although it was first prominently used in Celtic art for geometric designs. In Romanesque art its potential was fully used, decorating caskets, plaques and vessels."

Thanks for looking! ~Bonnie~
