ANTIQUE VICTORIAN ENGLISH GILT HAND PAINTED BROOCH WESTMINSTER ABBEY c1870
A lovely, large antique Victorian English gilt metal brooch; set with a porcelain panel, wonderfully hand painted with a fabulously highly detailed period image of Westminster Abbey. Its ornate bezel bears gold scroll decoration, blue enamelling and a twist cable surround. But the best thing about this piece is the scale of the abbey brought across by the artist - the tiny people milling around outside are minuscule and so finely painted, as a horse and carriage go by.

It dates from around 1870 and is in very good, fully wearable condition throughout, with loss to the surrounding enamel and one applied gold orb missing. It weighs 40.1 grams and measures 2 ¾ x 2 ¼ inches. What's more, I offer layaway deals so there's no need to let any of my listings slip through your fingers - just ask! This item is in the category "Jewelry & Watches\Vintage & Antique Jewelry\Brooches & Pins". The seller is "victoriousantiquejewellery" and is located in this country: GB.
