A beautiful mid-century mourning-style brooch, featuring a sleek, elongated black panel accented with an elegant floral and foliate design set with delicate split pearls. The black panel appears to be a hardstone or early synthetic material (e.g. bakellite), with the applied floral motif contrasting beautifully. The design is very reminiscent of Victorian mourning jewellery, although is likely to have been made later (c.1950s).
Details: • Material: Black onyx-type material (possibly bakellite) • Metal: Yellow-toned metal front with rose-toned metal reverse (untested) • Gemstones: Seed pearls • Measurements: Approx. 45mm x 13mm • Fastening: Hook clasp • Era: Mid-century, c.1950s (Victorian mourning revival style) • Condition: Generally good; some tarnishing to the reverse metal (not visible when worn)
A complimentary gift box will be provided, ensuring this striking mourning-style brooch arrives ready for gifting or adding to your collection.
