Original Victorian-era photographic portrait housed in an antique heart-shaped metal mount, dating approximately circa 1890–1910. This piece is offered as a photographic keepsake / portrait mount, not as wearable jewelry.
The photograph appears to be an original period print showing a young woman in late Victorian dress. The image is securely held in place by folded metal retaining tabs.
The ornate openwork heart frame likely served as a sentimental keepsake, album insert, or jewelry box portrait rather than a brooch. No pin or hanging hardware is present, and none is implied.
