AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The antique Victorian brooch is a two-part manufacture from the time around 1850/60. The front side is made in yellow gold 550, the back side is a Tombak alloy with 45% silver content. This was determined by the expert examination conducted by the master goldsmith.
The brooch has an oval, multi-link form with a central black-enamelled medallion featuring a gold engraved bouquet of flowers on a black enamel background. This medallion is surrounded by a wide mirror-like edge with relief ornaments at the top and bottom.
The back in Tombak with silver bears the long needle with needle shank and needle hook.
Format of the brooch: length approx. 4 cm, width approx. 2.3 cm
An elaborate goldsmith’s work from the time of Queen Victoria around 1850/60 in worn and well-maintained condition.
Antique pieces of jewelry are often overhauled, redesigned or repaired to preserve enjoyment and to extend their lifespan. It is not unusual that older objects bear corresponding traces of such work as well as signs of wear.
The fineness of gold in this lot is below the legal fineness required for some countries.
Shipping is carried out in a new jewelry case/jewelry bag.
The pictured jewelry cases, stands, displays or other photographic aids are the property of the photographer and are not part of the offering.
Color may vary slightly depending on lighting, camera settings or screen representation.
Shipping as insured parcel.
NOTE: The customs and import duties of the respective countries as well as any island delivery charges (currently 50.- EUR) are the responsibility of the buyer.
We expressly point out that after the amended right of withdrawal by EU legislation the costs of return shipping are to be borne by the purchaser, regardless of any value threshold or the reason for the return.
I have no influence on processing times of the shipping companies in the respective EU countries.
If you have questions about shipping duration, please contact the post office in your country and, if necessary, be patient.
As this is a private sale, I exclude any liability for defects.
