A Victorian Scottish silver and agate specimen brooch circa 1890
About the Item
This beautiful piece of Scottish late 19th century jewellery has been made in a Celtic style from unmarked silver which has been tested.
It is in the form of a shaped circular shield which is divided and set with eight segments of specimen Scottish agate in various colours with a central domed silver roundel. The thin agate is cut into segments which have been veneered onto a black slate panel to stabilise the collection which is then mounted to the framework of the silver brooch with four heavy silver claws which can be seen on the reverse of the brooch.
A pleasing piece of interesting Scottish jewellery in very good original condition, circa 1890

- 19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860Located in Central England, GBThis 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...Category
