Antique c.1900 Gold Art Nouveau Mythical Creature Diamond Watch Brooch

An unusual Art Nouveau watch brooch crafted in 10K yellow gold, dating to circa 1900. The intricately sculpted openwork design depicts a stylized dragon or other mythical creature with flowing organic lines, finely textured detailing, and a sparkling old-cut diamond held within its open mouth. True to the Art Nouveau movement, the brooch combines fantasy and nature-inspired artistry in a beautifully executed design. The reverse features a watch hook, allowing it to suspend a lady's pocket watch or pendant watch while also functioning as a traditional brooch. A rare and versatile antique accessory that exemplifies the imaginative craftsmanship of the turn of the 20th century.
