Vintage Seagull Bird Brooch with Chimney Sweep Charm Novelty Figural Brooch
Description
A wonderfully unusual vintage novelty brooch featuring a large flying seagull carrying a miniature chimney sweep charm from its beak.
The cream-coloured bird is beautifully moulded with detailed feathering, outstretched wings, a hand-painted black eye and bright red beak.
Suspended from the beak is a tiny black chimney sweep figure complete with ladder, creating a wonderfully whimsical and slightly surreal design.
The reverse is fitted with a simple metal pin fastening.
A brilliant piece of novelty vintage jewellery and a real conversation starter — perfect for collectors of figural brooches, bird jewellery or unusual mid-century costume pieces.
