Antique Sepia Love Brooch of Cupid Bearing Flowers Upon Maiden, under Crystal

About the Item

Amazingly detailed sepia painting of Cupid bestowing flowers on a young maiden. This navette shaped brooch, set in 15K gold, was a gift of love. On the reverse side can be seen two shades of hair intertwined, most likely the husband's and wife's, and the enameled initials "SJ".
