This is a stunning little brooch from the late 19th century, TRULY as cute as a button!

It measures just 21mm in diameter and weighs 3.7 grams, is comprised of solid Sterling silver and has a domed, porcelain, hand painted portrait of a noble lady.

This is almost certainly European continental and is much nicer in the flesh than appears in these images which have failed to capture its true beauty.

Stamped 'Sterling Silver' to the rear along with other, indecipherable marks. Hinge and pin are sound and secure. There is patina to the silver but this will polish up gleaming and new like if preferred.

Box is for display only.
