• Antique Austro Hungarian Victorian Turquoise Silver Brooch

19th century
Sold 3 December 2024 · Corvidae Antique
This “• Antique Austro Hungarian Victorian Turquoise Silver Brooch” found a buyer.

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

Description

A pretty Austro-Hungarian brooch in solid silver hand cut into an openwork scrolling foliate design with lovely vivid blue turquoise cabochons which have lost none of their intensity.

Fixes with a simple C clasp. The brooch is not hallmarked, which is not unusual for these types of items, and it tests as sterling silver.

The piece is in good antique condition, one of the original turquoises has been replaced, possibly with a glass cabochon; under strong magnification tiny scraps of enamel are visible and it may be that the front was once enamelled all over. We have not overpolished but you could take the silver to a higher shine if that's your preference.

Size: 2.3 x 2.3cm.

Weight: 4.4g.

Austro-Hungarian jewellery from the Victorian period is characterised by intricate metalwork, often drawing inspiration from Renaissance and Baroque designs, frequently incorporating foil-backed stones, natural gemstones, and elaborate silver or gilt mountings.

These items typically feature low to high-grade silver, often with patinated or oxidised finishes, combined with hand-cut cabochon gemstones such as turquoise, garnet, and river pearls set in open or closed back bezels.

Authenticity is assessed through traditional hallmarks or assay marks, handcrafted construction details such as visible solder lines, C-clasps with extended pins typical of the period, and natural ageing characteristics of the metal and stones.

Preservation involves storing pieces in dry, tarnish-resistant lined boxes away from direct sunlight and moisture, cleaning only with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage fragile gemstone settings.

An antique brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the neckline of a minimalist blouse, or used to secure a woollen scarf, adding a focal point of historic texture to modern outfits.
