AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two Dutch mourning brooches with hairwork, ca. 1900
Set of two antique mourning brooches, both made of silver and fitted with handmade hairwork under glass. Such brooches were worn in memory of a deceased person and often contained the loved one's hair.
1. Round mourning brooch
This brooch features a classic mourning scene with a tomb and a tree, constructed from blond hair. Surrounding the central scene are seven decorative “buttons.” At the bottom, the initials AVDL are visible.
The brooch uses a C clasp. On the clasp is the Dutch sword mark without a fineness number, indicating Dutch silver from before 1953. The pin itself is metal.
Dimensions:
• Diameter: 3.3 cm
2. Oval mourning brooch
This more restrained brooch contains dark hairwork with a similar grave scene. At the bottom are the initials SB. The edge is finished with a twisted wire.
This brooch also features a C clasp and is stamped with the Dutch sword mark without a fineness number.
Dimensions:
• 3.0 cm long
• 2.5 cm wide
Condition
Both brooches are in worn, original condition. They have not been cleaned due to the fragile hairwork.
Dating: around 1900.
- All jewelry is carefully packaged in a jewelry box and shipped with Track & Trace.
