This brooch was made in the mid-Victorian era of the 1860's, and not only has a wonderful flowing design of a bow, but was exquisitely hand engraved as well as having a locket on the reverse side.
Just looking at the way this brooch was made in a bow design, it is so incredibly made with the look of a true bow made out of cloth in the way that it flows and bends, giving this such an incredible textural look and feel to it.
With the hand engraving be nothing other than spectacular, the amount of time needed to complete this combined with the tools of well over 150 years ago, is a true testament to the jewellers of the era.
Measuring 58.6 across by 40.5mm, at the bottom is a round locket that once has a photo placed inside, will make it so much more personal and special to the person who wears it.
Still in superb condition even after all these years, this antique brooch is destined to always get the admiration that it rightly deserves.
