A delightful blend of artistry and whimsy, this vintage Bill Tendler sterling silver snail brooch is a wonderful example of American Mid-Century Modern design. Handcrafted during the 1950s, the sculptural snail features expressive tentacles, a gracefully curved body, and a bold spiral shell that showcases Tendler's unmistakable artistic style.
One of the pioneers of the American wearable art movement, Bill Tendler (1906–1973) worked from his Greenwich Village studio, creating imaginative sterling silver jewelry that blurred the line between fine art and adornment. His work remains highly sought after by collectors of Modernist and studio jewelry.
Beautifully detailed from every angle, this charming brooch adds personality to a jacket, sweater, scarf, or handbag and makes a wonderful conversation piece. Whether you're a collector of Bill Tendler's work or simply appreciate exceptional vintage craftsmanship, this sculptural snail is a timeless addition to any jewelry collection.
