Product Details

*cross-listed* A striking antique-style brooch featuring a genuine hand-set glass tesserae floral micro mosaic, inlaid directly within a red glass cabochon — a more sophisticated construction than a simple bordered mosaic. Set in an ornate gilt-brass frame with scrolling repoussé detail and two additional round faceted red glass cabochons flanking the sides. Under blacklight, red glass cab glows in areas a distinct orange-red consistent with cadmium-based glass, supporting genuine older glasswork. Unsigned — no legible maker’s mark despite close inspection — but construction is consistent with Czech or Italian manufacture; listed as “acquired as” this style rather than a certified origin claim. Please note verdigris/oxidation on the brass frame, visible in photos — all mosaic tiles appear intact. Please review all photos closely, as they’re part of the description, and message with any questions before buying. All sales are final — no refunds or cancellations. I’m not a jeweler, gemolo
