1885 Intricate Victorian Aesthetic Movement 14k Gold Flower Brooch Pin
Regular price
$1,296.00
Presented is a lovely antique Victorian 14K gold flower pin or brooch. The pin
is beautifully crafted with a large flower design at the center surrounded by
smaller flowers around the outside. The pin is done in rose gold with a yellow
gold plating on top. There is a glass bezel on the back of the piece which you
could easily lift out to add a photograph or whatever you like. There is a hook
on the back for hanging a watch or a pendant. The reverse is engraved with
‘R.G.M. 1885’. The pin was probably made in America, possibly Italy. This piece
was made in 1885 or perhaps a few years earlier, based on the inscription.
The pin is not marked. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it
to be 14K gold.
The condition is excellent. There are no splits, no breaks, and no repairs.
The pin measures 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
The weight is 15.2 grams.
