Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1880

This stunning antique gold brooch captures a charming romance, dating from the Victorian period, circa 1880. The brooch itself, crafted in 15k gold, looks much like a lyre or even harp to me, and a finely enamelled cherub takes centre stage. He is holding a horn, topped with rose cut diamonds- symbolising a divine announcement and joy. Four lovely flowers are scattered over the mountain scene, where the rose cut diamond sun seems to be rising. The design perfectly reflects the 19th century fascination with love, with the language of flowers and cosmos- its a beautiful piece, and it comes complete with a fine gold safety chain.
