A pretty and delicate example of gold wire and hairwork decoration in a lovely mount.
The brooch consists of a rectangular glazed compartment containing a very fine decoration composed of gold wire and a curl of hair. The glass is edged with bright-cut gold and surrounded by 16 coral beads carved as stylised flowers. The gold mount is unmarked. To the back is a simple pin and hook catch - the pin and pin-mounts are not gold. The back carries a dedication - 'From AG and AG to AG'. Early 19th Century - possibly even late 18th - Georgian or early Victorian - no later than about 1850. Unusually described as a mourning brooch, but the dedication would suggest otherwise. Overall 30x23mm. Corals each 4-5mm.
I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.

I will always mention anything that materially affects the aesthetic or function of a piece, but will not attempt to describe what I consider to be normal for age and use. Please use the photographs as well as you can and I’m always happy to answer specific questions.
