This antique piece of jewellery made of gold-plated silver is a masterpiece of the 19th century that embodies the spirit and artistry of the era in every detail. The brooch, crafted with exceptional care and dedication, bears a hand-carved, two-coloured shell cameo depicting the portrait of the Prussian Crown Princess Victoria.
The cameo, set in a bezel setting, rests in a frame decorated with broad classical ornaments. This filigree work emphasises the elegance and high rank of the figure depicted, while the original patina of the piece of jewellery lends it a touch of dignity and authenticity.
What makes this piece of jewellery particularly remarkable is that it can be worn both as a brooch and originally as a pendant, making it a versatile companion for various occasions. The signature, dated 14 April 1887, gives the brooch added historical depth by capturing a specific moment in history.
This exceptional piece, which is in very good condition, is not only proof of the high craftsmanship of times gone by, but also a valuable relic that carries the history of an important personality within it. It is a real gem for lovers of antique jewellery and a testimony to a time when art and history were inextricably interwoven.
