Home Art Nouveau by Moonlight Serpents and Sorceresses—a decadent assortment of antique Art Nouveau brooches and buttons, including interlaced serpents accented with shimmering garnets and marcasite, a fluttering of bats, plus the witchy women who are perfectly content to share their time with either (and perhaps be convinced to tell your fortune while doing so).

Crepuscule (French for “dusk”): a grand French figural button carved by Armand Bargas with the romantic twilight-themed scene of a chignoned woman surrounded by a trio of bats flying through the starlit sky—resting atop a rare antique Sterling silver buckle carved in the form of an open-winged bat by Ferdinand Erhart, circa 1908.
Self-portrait “Sphinx” inkwell sculpted by legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt, circa 1880. The inkwell portion is topped with a horned skull, and she has comedy-tragedy-mask shoulder epaulettes in tribute to her passion for theater, the body of a transformative griffin with scaled tail, fierce claws, and dramatic batwings ready to take flight—all topped off with a high ruffled collar and impeccably tied ribbon bow around her neck.
