This is an unsual Victorian Sterling Silver Shield Brooch. The brooch is decorated with a flower and leaves on the front and has beads down both sides and at the bottom and a scalloped top edge.

The brooch was made in Birmingham by Adie & Lovekin and dates to 1889. Founded in 1863 by James Adie and Alfred Lovekin, the firm specialised in flatware, fancy goods, silver antique jewellery and particularly sewing related items. Their pin cushions are highly collectable. The original partners passed away in 1913 and 1912 and the firm carried on until around 1930.

Condition is good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 135 years of service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The brooch measures 2.8cm by 2.4cm and weighs in at 3.3g of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the reverse of the brooch, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the Gothic date letter p for 1889 and the A & L makers' mark for Adie & Lovekin.
