Item:352491083201Exquisite Antique Victorian; Hand Crafted Neoclassical Lava Cameo Gilded Brooch. This exquisite antique Victorian (1837-1901) Circa 1870's yellow gold gilded brooch,is mounted with a superb quality hand carved Vesuvius Lava cameo: an astonishingly detailed Neoclassical portrait profile of a beautiful young lady.This stunning Cameo is bezel set and framed in a finely crafted gold gilded mounting; highlighted with pretty hand engraved scrolling patterns.The reverse is mounted with its original silver pointy sharp attachment pin and scrolled "C" shaped gilded clasp.The reverse is also mounted with a gold gilded safety chain and pin.This simply wonderful brooch measures a large size: 60 mm length,43 mm wide and 18 mm depth.The condition is very good; remarkable considering its age.The only signs of damage to the securely mounted Cameo is a tiny Flea-bite to the side of the lady's nose and a surface chip to the background; just above her head; as clearly illustrated in the photos.These slight sign of age do not detract from the outstanding beauty of the subject of this brooch.There are no other signs of damage or wear.
