Vintage Marjorie Baer MB SF Modernist Silver Tone & Brass Ginkgo Leaf Dangle Brooch
A striking modernist statement from Marjorie Baer San Francisco, this mixed‑metal brooch captures the sculptural elegance that defined her 1990s work. The textured silver‑tone form is shaped into a stylized ginkgo leaf and abstract floral motif, accented with warm brass and finished with two articulated dangles and a central teardrop drop. The layered geometry, the hand‑finished texture, and the movement of the dangles give the piece a bold, wearable‑art presence.
Signed MB SF on the reverse and in very good vintage condition, with light age‑appropriate wear consistent with Baer’s handcrafted finishes. A collectible modernist piece with unmistakable West Coast design DNA.
