About the Item
In this large cross, the strength of Iron and fine gossamer swirls combine to create et another miracle of historic Berlin Iron work from the early 1800's. There are four layers of iron here forged together with focus on the central flower. What tool existed to twist this fine iron and how was it created in such fine sprays?
When the German treasury was becoming depleted due to the war with Napoleon, the government addressed the aristocrats asking them to contribute their gold for the continuing battle. The wealthy answered the plea and were given iron jewels for their gold. "I gave gold for iron" became the badge of patriotic honor. Our cross is of that famous time which for us is now far away history. Wonderful what stories jewelry can tell. Excellent Condition. #Georgian cross #Georgianberliniron #berlinironcross #largecross #Napoleonicjewelry -#Georgianjewelry
