A Victorian Carved Hardstone Cameo Brooch
About the Item
A Victorian carved hardstone cameo brooch, the circular carved hardstone depicting Eros accompanied by a lion, surrounded by yellow gold frame with beaded openwork border, circa 1870, measuring approximately 2.7cm in diameter, gross weight 9.2 grams.
This antique brooch is in very good condition for its age. Unmarked, tested as 18ct gold.
A very fine example of a neoclassical cameo brooch. This brooch features a carved hardstone depicting eros and a lion, a popular theme in Hellenistic art that was revived in the nineteenth century. The cameo is finely carved and set in a frame of warm yellow gold with a beaded border which adds to the charming neoclassical design. This piece comes from the collection of Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and would look lovely pinned to a jacket lapel or a silk scarf.
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.
