Large c1900 Nordic 18K Yellow Gold Portrait of Woman Cameo Pin Brooch
Regular price
$936.00
Presented is a huge and heavy, 18 karat yellow gold cameo portrait pin made during the late 1800s or early 1900s. We believe this piece to be Finnish in origin. This is a wonderful quality cameo of a woman in profile and is
beautifully carved. The thick mounting has a pretty rope accent around the cameo. The back of the frame is finely engraved with the name Karin. The back is marked with 750, 18K, a crown symbol, a lion symbol, a date mark and a maker’s mark. We believe the hallmarks to be Finnish, Norwegian or Swedish. This piece is in fabulous overall condition. There are no damages, no cracks and no repairs. The pin measures 1 1/8 by 2 3/8 inches and it weighs 18 grams.
