Antique Edwardian Gold-Washed Cameo Brooch – Carved Shell Lady Portrait
This delightful antique pin features a beautifully carved shell cameo set in an ornate gold-washed frame. The frame measures approximately 1″ x 7/8″ and is adorned with twisted wire trim around a bezel setting. The cameo depicts a profile of a young lady with a draped bodice, her hair styled with fruits and floral accents. While the pin displays signs of wear consistent with its age, the intricate details of the cameo remain prominent. The frame features a vintage bar and hinge, suggesting a longer history, and appears to have had its catch with lock replaced, perhaps for added security. The pin is unmarked and weighs approximately 5.2 grams. This exquisite antique cameo brooch is a captivating piece of history and a testament to the artistry of the Edwardian era.
