Vintage 1949 Venice Biennale Italian 50 Lire Postage Stamp Prong Brooch

Authentic canceled 1949 Italian 50 Lire commemorative postage issue created for the 50th anniversary of the Venice Biennale, mounted beneath a glossy oval cover within scalloped white framing and gilt accents. Blue graphic celebrates the Biennale di Venezia, making this unusual estate piece especially appealing to philatelists, art-history collectors, Venice enthusiasts, Italian memorabilia buyers, mid-century accessory hunters, postal ephemera fans and cultural souvenir specialists. Reverse retains the same uncommon fixed dual-prong fitting seen throughout this estate series rather than a conventional pin clasp. Original fastening purpose remains uncertain; construction is photographed. Natural oxidation, patina, surface wear and finish variation support age and add period character. Materials unknown and untested. Estate find acquired through a consignment client. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting and screen settings. I do not clean estate jewelry. You will receive the exact item shown. Sold as-is with no returns.
