theodore b. starr pin

 

This tiny pin was my first art nouveau purchase.....today, this piece seems rather flat, however... It was made by the William B. Durgin Company for Theodore B. Starr, in 1900....Today, I prefer more three-dimensional, more sculpural, works......This one now serves as a lapel decoration....I could never bear the silly "button hole" on the lapels of suits........so, these little pins and brooches cover the things up very decoratively....
