Mid 19th century pietra dura brooch, circa 1860

About the Item

This superb quality mid 19th century Pietra dura brooch is a very fine example decorated with a complicated and detailed display of cut flowers which include turquoise blue forget-me-nots, a pale pink English rose and a white Lilly. All of these flowers have a romantic significance in the Victorian period. They are further enhanced with stems of green foliage. They have all been cut and inlaid from semi precious stones into a rectangular tablet of black marble or slate. This bright vibrant panel is mounted in a silver and gold frame decorated around its perimeter with raised gold beads and delicate silver scrolls. At the back of the brooch, the tablet is secured and protected with a bronze back plate held in place with a crimped edge. The brooch has a hinged nickel pin and a fine gold safety chain for extra security. Nickel was often used on quality brooches of this period because of its strength and durability. The brooch is in excellent original condition with no damage or restoration and comes with a fabulous Victorian maroon leather covered hinged box with a blue silk and velvet interior with bold gilt lettering for the retailer and jeweller Morath Brothers of 71 Dale Street, Liverpool.

19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860

Located in Central England, GB

This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey). He died circa 62 – 64 CE in Rome, Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...
