Fine Victorian c1890s Gold Filled Carved Cameo of a Woman Brooch Pin
Regular price
$159.00
Presented is a beautiful Victorian gold filled cameo brooch or pin. This piece dates to circa 1880-1900. The carving is nicely detailed and well done, depicting a classical Greco-Roman woman in profile, with her hair in ringlets and draped in a shawl. The cameo is set in a yellow gold-filled frame in a ribbon twist design. The back has an old C style clasp.
This piece is in great overall condition. The carving of the cameo is nice and crisp, with no chips. The back of the cameo has a faint white line, but this is not visible from the front (so it doesn't go all the way through the material) and doesn't seem to be a crack. The gold filled frame is in good shape. The clasp functions well and closes securely.
The brooch measures about 2 1/4 by 1 5/8 inches, LxW. -jm
