Sterling Silver and Gold Floral Antique 1883 Floral Patterned Brooch

Step back in time with this remarkable piece of Victorian-era jewellery, a beautiful and historic brooch dating to 1883. This brooch is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the late 19th century, blending two precious metals to create a striking and elegant design.

The brooch features a central oval motif made of sterling silver with a contrasting gold overlay to highlight the floral details. This central panel is meticulously engraved with a detailed floral pattern, including a prominent rose, showcasing the popular "Aesthetic Movement" style of the era which celebrated nature and art.

Surrounding the central oval is a highly dimensional, scalloped border of raised floral clusters, also in sterling silver. The delicate petals and rounded centres of these flowers create a soft, radiant halo effect around the detailed centre. The combination of the bright silver and warm gold gives the piece a captivating two-tone effect that is both classic and unique.

This brooch is not just an accessory; it's a wearable piece of history. Its age, design, and combination of metals make it a highly desirable collector's item. It fastens with a classic C-clasp on the reverse, a common and secure finding for brooches of this period.

As with all vintage and antique jewellery, there are likely to be signs of wear conducive with age and use. It is an integral part of what makes them appealing, adding history, charm and individualism to each piece.
