Productdetails

Haunting antique portrait brooch featuring an old black-and-white photograph of a wide-eyed baby beneath a domed clear cover. The intimate image is surrounded by a warm gold-tone rope/twist border, giving the piece wonderful Victorian sentimental or mourning-jewelry character. Reverse has an old-style pin stem with C-style clasp. Unmarked from what I can see. Exact age, metal content, identity of the child and original purpose are unknown; described as mourning/sentimental in style rather than confirmed provenance. Wonderful for an antique portrait jewelry, Victorian photography, sentimental jewelry or oddities collection. Visible age, patina, scratches/cloudiness and photo wear. Please inspect photos. Vintage items may have spots and/or need cleaning.
