Antique 9k gold Cameo brooch, Hebe and the eagle Zeus

About the Item

This fine and attractive antique Victorian era 9kt gold cameo brooch is really second to none in its detail and design. A very finely carved bullmouth shell cameo depicting Hebe feeding nectar to Zeus as the eagle, housed in a smooth and rich 9kt yellow gold frame. An unusual subject matter, it is always a pleasure to find unusual or unique cameos, this has a beautiful and detailed carving. To the reverse there is a safety catch and pin fastener and space to attach a safety chain if desired. This is an exceptionally well carved cameo and these finer cameos are always highly sought after by collectors and jewellery lovers alike, I love the fine details and three dimensional effect of the carving. Marks and era: Victorian era c1900, gold frame stamped 9ct, shell not signed. Condition: Good used condition overall, light surface wear, commensurate with age. Approx measurements: 1.55" total length, 1.30" total width Weighs approx 9.89 grams. Any questions or queries please contact us. FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.
