These art deco Chinese rose screen earrings are an Asian motif of flower stems wrapping a Tang Dynasty crystal border. Vintage iridescent blue glass ovals illuminate the interior while Swarovski fuchsia crystal, seed pearls and black enamel accentuate the flowers. The panel is joined to the art deco post to create sublte movement. Finished in warm burnished bronze. Sweet Romance USA. Made in our Los Angeles, CA studio. Size: 1.75" long x 0.5" wide
The Inspiration: This design is based on Chinoiserie, the decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s, an era devoted to interpreting and adopting Oriental design in fashion and the decorative arts. A very popular home furnishing, especially for a romantic boudoir was the coromandel folding screen of black lacquer incised with flowers and birds.
