| A 1-13/16" x 1-1/2" early to mid 19th century period rolled gold plated hair / mourning or photo brooch c1830-50. It is set with a lovely pale grey on grey banded agate with an insert glass covered window. The window is oval and has the brass pin mounts where it attaches to the agate, which has a bevelled edge; the border is a hand engraved rolled gold plate wire twist design. It has the original c-clasp and brass pin, and the compartment is covered by a bezel set glass window (no hair or photo present). This unusual brooch or pin is in excellent condition with no chips, losses, corrosion, repairs or damage other than two stress cracks in the agate (one on each side with one through the stone and the other surface only) and a crack through the window glass (interior fissure - doesn't reach surface). The cracks in no way affect the integrity of the piece and they are very, very minor in appearance. An unusual Victorian beauty! Surface shipping starts at $6 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. Please note that we do NOT accept Paypal. | |||||||
