Antique Victorian Mourning Brooch, Flat Cut Garnet, 9k Gold

About the Item

The Victorians were well known for their sentiment and it shows, not least in their beautiful Mourning pieces. This sweet antique Mourning brooch or lace pin is a typical design of the Georgian era that remained popular throughout the 19th century. It is a small piece in a rectangular shape with a halo of flat cut Garnets around the outer rim, the Garnets encompassing a tiny glazed panel with a piece of silk beneath, usually holding hair but this one doesn't. It is crafted in 9kt gold and has an old c type clasp and pin fastener. It is engraved to the reverse M. W June 3rd 1839, aged 19. Due to it's small size it was most probably a lace pin, used to secure the lengths of lace or fichu at the neck of both men and women, today it could be worn in many ways, on a collar or lapel, swagged on a chain or in a hat! Marks and era: Unmarked, tests as 9ct gold, early Victorian era, C1830s. Condition: Fair used condition overall, surface wear and signs of use commensurate with age, small dings to the reverse and some nibbles to the stones, one with a chip, glazed cover is a later perspex replacement. Approx measurements: 0.95" width 0.70" height / length Weighs approx 2.83 grams Any questions or queries please contact us. FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.
