M325M GEORGIAN MINIATURE PORTRAIT BROOCH GOLD & SILVER FRAME

M325M GEORGIAN MINIATURE PORTRAIT BROOCH GOLD & SILVER FRAME.

A fine example of an exquisite piece of Georgian (1760-1820) jewellery

Watercolour on natural material, the portrait sits within a thin rim of at least 9ct rose gold (tested), which is further accented with a wider border of sterling silver. This silver has a very attractive cut out design which lends itself so well to the piece. Grey split pearls form the ultimate decorative border.

No glass present

The rear shows the original barrel hinge and 'c' clasp - all in good condition

There are also push down sterling silver claws which hold the portrait in place.

Not hallmarked as was common during this period, but the metals are silver and gold

Weight: 5g

Diameter: 3cm
