Antique Victorian Shell Cameo Brooch

About the Item

Victorian Cameo Brooch. Fabulous carved Victorian brooch made around the late 1800s. It depicts a beautiful Bacchante. The execution of the shell is amazing, and the relief helps to add details and dimension to the design. The carving is masterfully done in the Greek Revival style. The frame is a gold plate with embossed designs with visible signs of wear. This is a lovely cameo that will be admired for years to come! A gorgeous vintage cameo brooch with a nice size, measuring approximately 46 mm x 39 mm. The weight is 10.5 grams. I can assume that the clasp was changed later. There are visible traces of solder. The pin works great. The cameo itself is in excellent condition. There are obvious signs of wear on the frame.
