Vintage Renoir Modernist Copper & Black Clip‑On Earrings – Mid‑Century Design, Signed, 1950s–Early 1960s
These vintage Renoir modernist copper and black clip‑on earrings capture the bold, sculptural aesthetic of mid‑century design. Produced in the 1950s to early 1960s, they feature a circular form with a raised copper rim accented by small bead‑like spheres all around the edge.
At the center, a blackened copper panel provides dramatic contrast to the warm copper tone, overlaid with a flowing abstract motif that evokes movement and balance — a hallmark of Renoir’s modernist style. The interplay of polished copper and matte black creates depth and visual rhythm, making these earrings a striking statement piece.
They are signed “Renoir” on the clip backs and are in excellent vintage condition, possibly NOS, showing only minimal age‑appropriate patina consistent with authentic mid‑century copper jewelry.
