DATE: Victorian, c.1880

A wonderful antique brooch by the renowned Italian jeweller Castellani, responsible for the archaeological revival movement in the mid 1800s. The brooch is set with a citrine and a garnet, with a heart motif making up the body, and oak leaf and acorns in the middle. The craftsmanship is obviously exceptional, and it remains paired with the original tooled leather presentation box. Crafted in 18 karat gold throughout.
