Wonderful and scarce 1940s Garman, Frank Gargano, whimsical brooch in the form of a carousel merry go round carnival ride. Fully intact having three animals, a swan, and two horses. The back is signed although the marks are a little difficult to read. Very well made, there are clear rhinestones adorning the edges of the base and Pavillion top, and the center post and top are decorated with multicolor crystals as well.
The piece is in very good to excellent vintage condition with a lovely patina. This piece is from the mid to late 1940s and is not a commonly found item, Gargano's designs are very sought after by collectors.
