Details
This exquisite antique Victorian diamond pheasant brooch has been meticulously hand-crafted in silver-topped 9ct yellow gold, with a glittering array of old mine cut diamonds pave set across the body, totalling approx. 1.6 carats. It’s depicted running, with long tail feathers and a vibrant, hand-painted enamel head, creating a beautifully lifelike silhouette that captures the bold colours and proud character of the bird.
Steeped in the romance of the late 19th century, this charming novelty piece would have graced the lapel of a lady's riding jacket or secured a gentleman’s cravat at a country estate, worn as a bold emblem of their love for nature and the country way of life.
Presented in excellent condition, this rare and highly collectible antique brooch is fitted with a secure pin and safety clasp on the reverse. Whether worn on a tailored blazer or nestled into a scarf, it offers a captivating flourish of Victorian sophistication and heritage.
