Regular price
$674.00
Presented is an incredibly rare and very interesting Victorian goldfilled memorial pin/brooch, dating to around the 1840s-1860s. The brooch is designed so that the central bezel can spin/pivot in place--One side has the name Gray, the other side has Guyot, with a little lock of hair. The glass is surrounded by a ropetwist openwork setting. The reverse has an old C clasp and then a second pin shaft and clasp, which is not to pass through clothing but rather to keep the brooch from spinning/pivoting while it is fastened.
The piece is in great condition. The clasps are working well.
Length: 1.5 inches.
Total weight: 14.6 grams.
