Vintage Silver-Tone Articulated Tiger Shoulder Brooch

Vintage Silver-Tone Articulated Tiger Shoulder Brooch

A striking vintage shoulder brooch depicting a sleek tiger in an elongated, prowling pose. Combining sculptural detail with a fluid, articulated construction, this unusual piece brings a bold feline accent to jackets, dresses and eveningwear.

The tiger is formed from individual linked sections, allowing its body and long, tapering tail to curve and drape over the shoulder. The front legs extend beside the sculpted head, creating the impression of a big cat creeping forward. This flexible design gives the brooch a sense of movement and makes it particularly eye-catching when worn across a structured shoulder.

Reflective silver-tone metal is contrasted with black stripe detailing along the body, legs and tail. Small sparkling accents highlight the eyes, while the shaped muzzle, ears and defined paws add character. The combination of polished surfaces and dark markings gives the piece a dramatic graphic quality, with each articulated segment contributing to its distinctive silhouette.

Wear it over the shoulder of a black blazer for a strong statement, or use it to add an unexpected touch to a simple evening dress. It also pairs beautifully with velvet, sleek tailoring and understated knitwear, allowing the elongated feline shape to become the focal point of the outfit.

The reverse features a brooch pin fastening. Visible surface wear and areas of patina are present, particularly on the underside, reflecting the piece’s vintage character. Please examine the photographs closely for details of the finish and condition.

An expressive piece of vintage costume jewellery for anyone drawn to animal motifs, sculptural accessories and dramatic statement dressing.
