Vintage Petit Point Flower Brooch | Hand-Stitched Rose & Pansy Bouquet | Gold-Tone Filigree Oval Frame | Cottagecore Needlepoint Pin | 2"

Somebody counted every one of these stitches so you don't have to.

This vintage gold-tone metal and petit point needlework brooch holds a tiny hand-stitched bouquet under its oval frame: a pink rose, a red and coral pansy, purple violets and blue flowers with teal and green leaves and little golden sprigs, all worked on a cream canvas. Petit point is needlepoint done so small that a single flower can take hundreds of stitches, and the close-ups show just how fine they are. The bouquet sits in a smooth gold-tone bezel with a twisted rope edge and a lacy border of open scroll filigree. Petit point brooches like this were a mid-century favorite, often made in the Austrian tradition.
