Stunning Antique Victorian Mourning Brooch

This phenomenal Victorian mourning brooch is wearable miniature artwork and in stunning condition for its age. (1880’s - 1920’s)

Bubble glass eloquently encases a luminous mother-of-pearl background which serves as a canvas for the detailed and delicately reverse-painted swallow and roses. This creates shimmering depth, while the elegant gilt brass rope-twist bezel border adds rich texture.

This piece is detailed and vivid, with a beautiful contrast of light and shadow that lends an ethereal quality to it and stands as a testament to the artisans of the Victorian period.
