Individually the form of each of these exemplary Art Deco clip brooches bears a striking resemblance to the Pylon, the tapering monumental towers of ancient Egypt, whose bold form inspired so much design throughout the 1930s. When brought together, however, mounted atop the simple diamond line frame, these clips are transformed into a truly modern soaring geometric skyline, their design at once recalling both the architectural innovations of the era together with it's inimitable style.

In bringing together these motifs this tiara is an exceptional and truly evocative example of the Art Deco period and one of only a few examples of its kind.
