The 1942 Ming Dragon is among Alfred Philippe’s most coveted designs for Crown Trifari — patented under number 131,426 and rare almost to the point of legend. A great faux baroque pearl forms the dragon’s body, encrusted in emerald-green rhinestones and jet-black enamel, the whole thing alive with crystal fire and coiled as if mid-turn. It carries the Crown Trifari mark and “Pat. Pend.” on the reverse, and it earns its place in the literature: Brunialti’s American Costume Jewelry pictures it on page 120 and rates it four stars of five. There is honest age here — a little enamel softened, a whisper of crazing to the pearl — the marks of eighty years lived, not flaws. What you hold is a designer’s masterwork most collectors only ever see in a book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CROWN TRIFARI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46141136633913,"sku":"154744021531","price":3495.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/6105\/3497\/files\/24_57_312c54b5-ad8b-4115-9356-e0256dd7a4ff.jpg?v=1782966559","url":"https:\/\/www.floridasultimatetreasures.com\/products\/1942-crown-trifari-ming-dragon-brooch-21531","provider":"Florida's Ultimate Treasures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
