Material: Gilt brass
Size: 18 mm w × 20 mm h
Description: This charming antique sweetheart brooch is finely crafted from a bright golden-toned brass alloy that displays a lovely, light age patina. The central design showcases a highly detailed heraldic Tudor Rose enclosed within a circular shield, which is majestically surmounted by an ornate, multi-pointed imperial crown. This central emblem is securely mounted onto a slender, polished horizontal bar that tapers cleanly into a traditional safety-pin style wire closure mechanism on the reverse side. The entire piece features a completely unmarked surface finish, relying on crisp die-striking techniques to bring out the intricate layers of the crown's jewels and the delicate petals of the central floral motif.
Reverse: Plain gilt back with soldered pin clasp
Circa: 1914-1945
