measures 5.1cm by 4.5cm

Sold for £110
Estimated at £150 - £200


 

The brooch is in poor condition with extensive enamel loss and one stone lacking. It fastens with a pin and c-hook. It bears no hallmark nor stamp but in our opinion would test as silver. It is etched to the reverse '1855'. Gross weight 12.9 grams. CR made 29.07.24.
