Victorian Rare Solid Silver & Scottish Agate Specimen Pietra Dura Brooch, 1880s. Here is a really fabulous victorian solid silver & scottish agate specimen pietra dura brooch. The brooch measures just over half an inch by just over two & a half inches and is all set in victorian solid silver, not marked but tested & guarranteed as such. This brooch is a fabulous scottish specimen brooch in a unusual pietra dura style & all inset with all different kinds of real scottish agates etc in sections, flat cut, polished with there lovely colours & natural markings, bandings with some unusual agates i have not seen before or the markings in a fabulous quality design. Nicely this brooch is encased in thick solid silver to the back & comes complete with its pin & Cclasp working well. This brooch dates to the victorian period around the 1880s when scottish jewellery was at its height of popularity and some fabulous pieces were made & yet again i have never seen one exactly the same as this one before, so a very interesting example and as with age it does have minute nibbles & a couple of cracked lines, which you would expect with age & wear, but nothing that i can see that detracts, but just mentioned for total accuracy, see pics. This really is a lovely victorian brooch in good origional complete condition as stated and such a lovely rare collectable example of these. I love antique jewellery, so hope that you to can appreciate my items, that have been pre loved with history. But remember all my items are antique, vintage and pre owned, which is totally different to new. Please look at photos, pics carefully, sizes, and read the whole listing. Remember this is all my opinion, which may be different to your own. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Auctiva gets you noticed! Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
