Nice piece there Vino , depending on who painted it could be worthwhile investigating , if a miniature painter of note painted it , could be a Jackpot , congrats either way ..cheers Mick

Ha I always get along better with animals than people so I'd be happy to share with the 4 legged friend. It's funny cause I'm getting super busy work wise and I'm very happy about that but I'm also thinking to myself "oh great less time to detect". I guess there's worse problems to have lol.

Hi Vino thats some real sweetness from the past there !! Added that item type to my bucket list, will be very hard to find one that good if not impossible out here. Banner time !
 
Yes!!!! Thanks so much for pointing that out to me..
Never new it was so personal, and real expensive back then..
It was for the well to do..
Love to find out who she was..

She was my great great grandmother and I believe you would want to return it to the family. I told you this was a special find.
 
that's really nice. the hinge and clasp lean more towards the Georgian period than Victorian
 
A very nice Brooch :thumbsup: does it have any assay stamps :thumbsup: the pin looks a darker colour, and a lot of these were made from pinchbeck to resemble gold. But a nice find none the less.:thumbsup:

Very well done Vino. GL&HH.
