Arts and Crafts Moonstone and Silver Brooch Circa 1900

1900 - 1920
Description

A most beautiful and fine silver arts and crafts brooch, unmarked (tested).

This fine bar brooch is set with seven good sized moonstones. It has a single stone at each end, with a large flower head in the centre, made up of five large, petal-shaped stones, and a small pearl mounted at its centre, representing the stamen.

The mystical moonstones have a lovely blue/silver iridescence. The silver mount is of very good quality with large, strong well made claw settings to hold the stones.

Height 2cm x width 3.7cm x depth 1cm

Date of Manufacture

Robert Belcher Antiques has dated this Antique Moonstone Silver Brooch to the 1900s.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Simple C-clasp and tubular hinge on reverse: jewellery fittings before safety catches became standard.
Hand-shaped claw settings and applied beadwork: handmade construction typical of the movement.
Blue adularescence across the cabochon moonstones: stones favoured by turn-of-the-century makers.
Unmarked silver mount: frequent practice among British Arts and Crafts studio jewellers.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Dealers Notes

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.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

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.

This Arts and Crafts brooch dates from circa 1900 and uses silver and moonstone. The design incorporates a bar pin structure holding seven cabochon moonstones, comprising a central floral cluster with five petal-shaped stones alongside a tiny central pearl, complemented by single round moonstones at each terminal end. The silver mount displays robust claw settings enclosing the stones, which exhibit a blue and silver iridescence. The object measures 2 cm high, 3.7 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The visual elements in the photograph include the blueish sheen of the moonstones, the four-lobed configuration of the central flower head, and the polished metallic surface of the silver bar setting. In a modern interior setting, a piece of antique jewellery of this type is worn as a decorative accessory on clothing such as lapels, collars, or scarves, or stored safely in a jewellery box or display cabinet when not in active use. The item is suited for everyday wear or special occasions, functioning as a wearable historical ornament. The materials present a silvery metallic tone combined with the soft blue luminescence of the polished gem stones. The construction reflects the craftsmanship of the period through its combination of botanical motifs and metalwork.

FAQs

Emerging in the late nineteenth century, Arts and Crafts jewellery emphasized hand-craftsmanship, naturalistic motifs, and the intrinsic beauty of semi-precious stones over commercial factory production.

Craftsmen typically paired translucent cabochon moonstones with sterling silver, hand-hammered metalwork, and subtle accent gemstones or seed pearls to highlight natural adularescence.

Authentic pieces often display evidence of hand-tooling, customized bezel or claw settings, simple pin attachments, and silver purity stamps or maker marks from the era.

While traditionally worn as personal adornments, antique brooches can be displayed inside glass shadow boxes or velvet jewellery trays as decorative accent pieces on dressing tables.

Clean gently using a dry, soft cloth or mild soapy water, avoiding harsh liquid chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners that could damage delicate settings or stones.
