Antique Swiss Enamel And Gold Brooch, Circa 1870

About the Item

A Swiss enamel brooch, with an oval hand painted scene depicting mountains in the distance with a church surrounded by trees, with a feature tree, people and animals to the foreground, within a twisted gold frame with four green enamel leaves, circa 1840.
