Antique Georgian 14ct Gold Mourning Brooch with Seed Pearls & Black Enamel - C.1800

18th century
Sold 7 January 2026 · Artisan Antiques
This “Antique Georgian 14ct Gold Mourning Brooch with Seed Pearls & Black Enamel - C.1800” found a buyer.

It was listed by Artisan Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This wonderfully crafted and intricate 14ct gold mourning brooch was made in the Georgian period c.1800 and features a wonderful array of embellishments.

The brooch itself is shaped in a cartouche design with a central cartouche which is surrounded by a border of seed pearls.

The outer border features a finely hand-chased floral motif which encompasses the black enamel with gold lettering.

The reverse side features a c clasp pin and a later added safety chain.

Overall, a finely crafted and quality piece of Georgian jewellery with an impressive amount of detail in a modest form.

The gold mount is unmarked as is common with many articles of this period. As such, we have tested it for 14ct gold.

All our jewellery come with a complimentary modern hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Please note, any other antique boxes/display items are not included unless otherwise stated.

A Georgian mourning brooch is a commemorative piece of jewellery created to remember a deceased loved one, typically featuring symbolic motifs, dark enamel, and sometimes human hair encased behind glass.

These pieces frequently incorporated low-to-mid carat gold, black vitreous enamel, natural seed pearls representing tears, and hair work, often protected by rock crystal or glass.

Authentic items from this era often exhibit hand-carved mounts, closed-back settings, natural seed pearls with irregular shapes, and hand-lettered gold inscriptions set within black enamel.

This piece can be worn pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the collar of a high-necked blouse, or displayed in a glass shadow box as miniature historic art.

Clean these delicate items gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the fragile enamel and hair compartments.
