Vintage 1940's Hobe Sterling Bandora Monk Asian Style Filigree Brooch

Hobe Filigree Brooch

This vintage Hobe brooch from the 1940s is a striking example of the brand’s ability to combine fine craftsmanship with distinctive decorative themes. Crafted in sterling silver, the brooch depicts a Bandora monk rendered in an ornate Asian-inspired style, enhanced by intricate filigree work that gives the piece both texture and depth.

Hobe was one of the most respected names in American costume jewelry, known for producing designs with a luxurious appearance and remarkable attention to detail. During the mid-twentieth century, the company created many imaginative pieces that drew inspiration from historical, theatrical, and international motifs. This brooch reflects that spirit beautifully, presenting a highly detailed figure with an expressive and sculptural presence.

The filigree silverwork adds delicacy and refinement to the design, creating an openwork effect that contrasts elegantly with the strength of the figure. The result is a brooch that feels both decorative and artistic, with a strong vintage identity that stands out in any collection. Length 3.5"

Figural brooches from Hobe are especially admired by collectors for their originality and craftsmanship. Pieces in sterling silver from the 1940s are particularly desirable, offering both historical charm and enduring visual appeal.
