Product Details

Wonderful Victorian era swivel keepsake brooch featuring an unusual intertwined circular frame surrounding an oval glass compartment with pivoting swivel construction. A beautifully sculptural antique piece with rich warm patina and substantial presence. Originally intended to hold a photograph, hairwork, fabric, or other sentimental keepsake beneath glass. The dimensional openwork design gives the piece an almost modernist feel while still retaining classic late Victorian craftsmanship and sentimentality. Likely gold-filled construction though unmarked. Circa 1880s-1900s. Age-appropriate wear consistent with antique condition. Movement is smooth and glass has no cracks. Can "open" to add your favorite keepsake.
