Georgian Black Dot Paste and Silver Antique Spinning Flower Brooch

About the Item

Dramatic and historic, this brooch was created in the Georgian era. Condition Report: Very Good - Some clouding to a couple of the stones and scratches to the surface of a couple too. This is only visible upon very close inspection with a magnifying glass. It is consistent with age and use and do not detract from the overall appeal of the piece. The Details... This brooch, although un-hallmarked, is most likely constructed from silver. It features a large 3D flower design set with hand-cut, black-dot paste stones. The centre of the flower can move - it rotates around a central pin. The brooch fastens with a 'C' clasp and the fastening pin is fitted to the brooch with a tube hinge. This brooch measures 6cm x 5cm. A Short History... In the Georgian era, a black dot was often painted onto the culet of a paste stone to give an impression of depth. This was a time consuming part of manufacture and therefore is indicative of a high quality grade of paste stone. Wear it With... Brooches are an exceptionally simple way to add instant vintage styling to any look and interest to plain materials. Pin this piece onto a hat, lapel, collar, cuff, scarf, sleeve, waistline or bag - wear alone or with a selection.
