This eighteenth century brooch takes the form of an oval, openwork carved piece made from cream-coloured bone and antler. The front features detailed relief carving of two winged figures wearing skirts or kilts and Elizabethan hairstyles, holding a horizontal rod between them, all enclosed within a scalloped outer frame with feathering and cross-hatching. Two small dark marks are visible on the left and right sides of the oval border. The rear retains its original working clasp mechanism with a locking pin. Measuring approximately 6 cm by 4 cm, this decorative accessory serves as a wearable item for historical clothing or costume attire. Such an item adds a distinct focal point when pinned to a traditional plaid scarf, woollen shawl, or lapel of a tailored jacket. Placed inside a display case on a dressing table or vanity surface, it functions as a collector specimen or an object of historical interest. The traditional motifs fit well alongside regional folk artefacts in a domestic study or cabinet of curiosities.

FAQs

Carved antler and bone jewellery gained popularity during the 19th century, particularly within German, Swiss, and Victorian folk art traditions. Craftsmen carved these durable organic materials into detailed motifs depicting nature, folklore, and figurative scenes.

Artisans used small chisels, gouges, and hand saws to pierce and shape dense antler or horn into low-relief and openwork designs. The completed carvings were polished and fitted with metal pin mechanisms on the reverse.

Authentic antique carved antler items display natural grain variations, subtle yellowing from age, and tool marks around detailed areas. Historical pieces typically feature period-appropriate backings such as long steel pins, tube hinges, or c-clasps.

Brooches of this style can be worn on heavy fabrics such as wool lapels, scarves, or hats to highlight the detailed openwork. Alternatively, collectors display them mounted inside glass-fronted shadow boxes or velvet-lined trays.

Store organic materials away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources to prevent cracking. Clean gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or prolonged contact with water.
