Beautiful antique Victorian mourning brooch featuring a large faceted glossy black plaque, believed to be black glass / jet-style glass, set within an ornate gold-tone frame.
The octagonal frame has lovely embossed floral and twisted-rope detailing, with an applied dimensional flower and foliage motif at the center. The contrast of the polished black glass against the warm aged gold finish gives this piece a classic Victorian mourning aesthetic.
Back retains its antique pin mechanism.
Condition: Good antique condition with expected age-related wear. Metal shows patina, discoloration and finish wear consistent with age. Please review all photos closely for condition and construction.
