A Scottish Silver and Agate Specimen Brooch Circa 1890

19th century
Description

This beautiful piece of Scottish late 19th century jewellery has been made in a Celtic style from unmarked silver that has been tested.

It is in the form of a shaped circular shield, which is divided and set with eight segments of specimen Scottish agate in various colours with a central domed silver roundel. The thin agate is cut into segments which have been veneered onto a black slate panel to stabilise the collection, which is then mounted to the framework of the silver brooch with four heavy silver claws, which can be seen on the reverse of the brooch.

A pleasing piece of interesting Scottish jewellery in very good original condition, circa 1890

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Scottish pebble jewellery refers to pieces set with native Scottish agates, jaspers, and stones inlaid into silver or gold, a style that gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era due to Queen Victorias affinity for the Scottish Highlands.

These brooches traditionally incorporate local varieties of chalcedony, such as banded agate, moss agate, bloodstone, and jasper, mounted in solid sterling silver or gold settings.

Authentic pieces feature precision-cut stone segments flush-set into hand-crafted metal mounts, period-appropriate closures such as C-clasps with extended tubed hinges, and typical late 19th-century radial or geometric patterns.

An antique agate brooch can be worn on coat lapels, fastened to silk scarves, attached to the collar of a button-down shirt, or pinned to velvet ribbons as a choker.

Clean gently with a dry, soft polishing cloth to remove surface tarnish from the silver, avoiding liquid dips or harsh chemicals that can penetrate porous natural stones or loosen adhesives.
