Product Description

Vintage, Large, High Relief, Cameo Brooch

Features a lovely lady made of a tortoiseshell glass set in a Victorian / Edwardian brass setting. Black enamel accents the embossed brass design which has Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences. Tiny glass pearls surround the cameo edge. The setting is an authentic antique one, it does have a locking clasp which was first used in the 1920's but the setting and cameo looks to be older. It looks very much like a Victorian piece but I'm thinking it's a Victorian revival brooch from the 1920's era. The brass is very solid and hard and the cameo is beautifully detailed. Features solid "crown" prong settings

Excellent antique conditionwith no issues to note. A pearl or two at the bottom of the piece has an extremely tiny peeled spot, but for a piece this old it's  nothing that takes away from the beauty or value of the brooch.

 The cameo alone measures 32 x 24mm, the brooch measures 2" long x 1~5/8" across at the widest point
