Couldn't load pickup availability
Description
A Victorian brooch in the gold tone pinchbeck type metal. The brooch is of large size with a double twisted border. It is mounted with a hand painted porcelain panel of a young woman holding a child. The most interesting feature is that the centre panel can be rotated showing the back instead. Currently the back is vacant presumably it originally held perhaps the hair of a departed loved one. There was likely a glass cover although this is now lost. The retention ring remains so it would be possible to refit a glass or cover should you wish. It has a very large pin with simple hook fastener. There are no marks and it dates around 1860.
