18th century

Sold by Corvidae Antique

Description

An antique mourning brooch in a squared starburst arrangement with a centrepiece of neatly braided hair beneath a bezel-set panel. Rendered in sterling silver with a wash of gold at the back. The old single-cut pastes are foil-backed and lovely and sparkly, particularly the larger ones, and the outer stones are black dot pastes. The Georgians (c.1714-1837) would paint a black dot on the bottom end of paste stones (the culet) to help give an illusion of depth and make them look more like real diamonds as they glittered in the candlelight.

The brooch fixes with a C clasp and can also be worn as a pendant because a gold bail has been attached at the back.

Size: Approximately 2.2 x 2cm.

Weight: 5.1g.
