Brooch England, 1860s The Victoria & Albert Museum |
You couldn’t find a brooch which better summed up the designs of the 1860s. This gold brooch is set cabochon cut garnets and topazes upon a central, raised shield. The foliate portion of the brooch is expertly hand-chased.
Though it’s not marked, we know that the piece originated in Britain and was made around 1860.
