Coral Gold Butterfly Brooch

About the Item

A late nineteenth century gold and coral brooch, the coral branch with patterned gold foliate design to tip, supporting a yellow gold butterfly with engraved wing and body, measuring approximately 4cm x 2.6cm, circa 1890, gross weight 5.4 grams. This antique brooch is in excellent condition for its age with minimal signs of wear. Unmarked, tested as 18ct gold, with 9ct gold pin. This charming and whimsical Victorian brooch comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. It features a lovely yellow gold butterfly resting on a branch of natural orange coral with further gold details. The warmth of the gold complements the coral wonderfully. This lovely brooch would look perfect on the lapel of a summer jacket or pinned to a floral dress. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
