Antique 19th Century 14K Gold Filigree Cannetille Brooch

About the Item

An antique 19th century 14 karat gold brooch created with fine filigree and cannetille work. The brooch is beautifully made, it almost gives the impression of lace or fine embroidery. These types of ornaments were part of the Dutch ear iron. The ear irons were very common in the Dutch countryside since the 16th century. The wealthier the family was the more lavish the gold headdress was crafted. This part of a head-piece ornament is crafted into this gorgeous brooch. Netherlands, 19th century. Cannetille typically features fine gold wires or thinly hammered sheets. Jewelry with cannetille was very popular in the 1900's, particularly in the 1820's and 1830's. Motifs included tendrils, scrolls, coils, beehives and spider-like rosette ornaments, as shown by this brooch. The brooch is in very good condition. Marked and tested as 14 karat gold. Measurements: L 5.0 x W 5.5 cm Weight: 10.52 grams We will wrap the brooch beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.
