Vintage (60s) Signed Sphinx Gold Tone Wheat Sheaf Bow Brooch

A beautifully detailed vintage gold tone brooch by Sphinx, designed as a tied wheat sheaf with layered foliage forming a soft bow shape. The leaves are richly textured with crisp veining and a warm matte-to-satin gold finish that catches the light without being overly bright.
 
This classic mid-century design is both sculptural and elegant, with excellent depth and definition typical of Sphinx craftsmanship. A versatile piece that works equally well on coats, jackets, knitwear, or styled at the shoulder or lapel for a timeless vintage look.
 
Signed to the reverse and dating to the 1960s, this is a quality example of British costume jewellery from one of the most respected makers of the era.
