Presented is a lovely Victorian carved cameo brooch. This is an Italian piece dating to around the 1850s-1860s. The cameo is beautifully carved, white over light peach, depicting a bouquet of flowers. The gold frame of the cameo is ornate, with textured gold leaves and gold ribbon. The brooch has an old 'c' style clasp. This is a fantastic antique cameo, quite large and eye-catching.

This piece has been nitric acid tested and is guaranteed 14 karat gold. The back of the cameo has a signature, which we unfortunately cannot read.

The cameo is in great condition. There are some old lead solder repairs on the back, probably from replacing the clasp, but this is not very noticeable from the front. There are no other issues.

The cameo has approximate dimensions of 2 x 1 3/4 inches.

This piece weighs 12.4 grams. Given the lightness of  the cameo material, the
majority of this weight is gold.
