Signed Renoir Copper Leaf Brooch Mid Century Modern Modernist Sculptural Botanical Pin

Sculptural movement, beautifully balanced asymmetry, and warm glowing copper distinguish this signed vintage Renoir brooch, an elegant example of American Mid-Century Modern jewelry design. Inspired by a stylized leaf or unfolding botanical form, the composition combines broad overlapping copper planes with a raised central rib, an elongated sweeping stem, and a dramatic curled scroll that rises above the surface to create exceptional depth and visual movement. Viewed from the side, its carefully layered construction reveals a strong architectural quality, while the polished copper catches changing light across the smooth and subtly textured surfaces. Renoir jewelry is admired for transforming natural forms into clean modernist abstractions, and this generously scaled brooch has the bold presence and refined simplicity that continue to attract collectors of vintage copper jewelry, biomorphic design, studio modernism, and sculptural wearable art. Measuring just under 3½ inches long by approximately 1¼ inches wide, it is clearly signed “Renoir” on the reverse and retains its original pin mechanism. The copper displays light surface scratches and gentle wear, particularly along the projecting stem and polished areas, with natural darkening in recessed sections consistent with age and previous use. The overall form remains strong, complete, and visually striking, making this an exceptional statement brooch for a jacket, coat, sweater, or dedicated Mid-Century Modern jewelry collection.
