All Items : Archives : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Pre Victorian : Pre 1920 item #1087509 (stock #6523)
A scarce sterling silver filigree posey holder pin circa 1900 1910. This antique 2-1/4" long and 1" across (unmarked but tested) fantastic posy or corsage brooch is an example of ornate and very fine silver work. The ball and wire end makes me think it may be an older Indonesian / Yogya piece. It was assembled from three separate sections of filigree silver. It may be older than our estimate. This possible bridal item either started out as a flower bouquet holder and had the pin added or was always a posy-pin. It has a c-clasp. It can readily be converted to (or back to) a small bouquet holder. It weighs 12.6 grams, and it is in excellent condition for its age and fineness, with no corrosion or repairs other than what appears to be a small section of missing wire and the c-clasp has been repaired. All condition issues are noted. All items are vintage or antique and may have signs of use and patination as would be expected. Expedited insured tracked shipping to the U.S. starts at $24 (other spots may vary) - insurance and tracking are included in shipping quotes.
