An exquisite Antique Victorian Cameo Brooch made Circa 1860. The piece features a beautiful, hand carved cameo in the centre framed in a chain-like Base Metal frame, gilded in 9ct Gold.
Roman style Cameo’s were highly sought after in the 19th century during the 'Grand Tour' days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They often depicted Goddesses and characters from mythology and became a favourite of Queen Victoria also.
It's a true collector's piece and is fitted with a strong pin and safety chain for added security when worn.
