Brooches

This well preserved example of cut steel jewellery dates from the late 1800s.  

Condition Report:

Very Good - A tiny element of oxidisation to the reverse of the brooch near the clasp. This is consistent with age and use and does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.

This delightful figural brooch was created in c.1920 by the German high quality costume jewellery maker, Knoll and Pregizer.

Condition Report:

Good - The 'C' catch and fastening pin are most likely a later replacement to the piece. However, they work well and are in-keeping with the design. There is a tiny element of enamel loss to the tip of one wing. This is only visible upon close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
