Sale of the Century – Lippa’s Moving Sale!

Lippa’s is Moving!

Reopening very soon (construction is taking longer than expected) We are aiming to be open by Sept 15th. If you need any assistance please email mike@lippas.com

After 93 wonderful years in downtown Burlington, our 112 Church St. retail location is now temporarily closed as we prepare to open our new location in Colchester, Vermont.

Our upcoming Colchester showroom will operate by appointment only, allowing us to offer a more private, tailored experience for buying, selling, and exploring our rare estate jewelry collection.

How to Reach Us During the Transition:

Thank you for being a cherished part of our four-generation legacy. We look forward to welcoming you to our new Colchester home soon!

Category:

An extremely well-made and designed enamel snake brooch. The brooch features Basse Taille enamel of yellow and brown colors alternating the length of the snake. Basse Taille enamel means that engraving or hammering is applied to the metal and then the enamel is applied after, this is a similar style to Guilloche enamel but the pattern is usually applied using a machine to give a repetitive pattern under the enamel.  This gives the piece a great look of texture underneath the transparent or translucent enamel. The brooch is completed with round synthetic pink sapphire eyes and measures appx 1 3|4 inches long and 1 1|8 inches wide.
