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.

FAQs

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.
