Sterling Silver Brooches

Beautiful hand crafted brooch. The piece depicts a lady's face with a floral garland and sinuous tendrils framing it. The florals are carefully enamelled. She measures 5.5cm/55mm long x 4.5cm/45mm wide. The pin has a roll-over lock. Fully hallmarked. Limited edition piece. We only have one in each colour. Brand new.

A beautifully made little object. The detail is superb. Even the violin pegs move. The pin is secure and has a roll-over safety catch. Hallmarked to the rear of the pin. There is a very tiny flea bite of amber on the bottom (underside) edge that is barely noticeable. A small amount of tarnish. Otherwise immaculate. Always happy to provide further images.

Gladys and Charles Mumford. A beautiful Arts and Crafts silver brooch, Falmouth, Cornwall, circa 1960. There is an indistinct stamp probably marked ‘Silver. In lovely condition with a naturalist shaped leaf and flower and sinuous swirls. 4.4 cm.

A lovely Arts & Crafts brooch. Repousse work with an initial ‘r’ could be a ‘j’ as the pin is placed dead centre on the back.  Size 3.8cm. Clear English sterling silver assay hallmarks.  Maker W.A & C. Lion passant and the leopard head denoting London and then year is 'N'. I've not looked this up, just that the leopard's head is POST 1920.

A pretty oval shaped brooch with a trio of finely engraved dog roses and foliage. The hallmark is for Birmingham 1863-64 and the maker T & Co. Possibly Tennent & Co.

Measures 42mm x 18mm x 2mm. It has a fully functioning hinged pin with curved catch. Weighs 3.2g

The condition to the front is virtually perfect, the back has a few dent issues. I haven't over cleaned it as I personally like the darker contrast of the grey oxidisation.

If you would like further images please do ask.

A stunning David Andersen, Norway, leaf brooch. White pearl enamel, silver gilt. The 'w' indicate designer: Willy Winnaess (active 1950s). All clearly marked on the underside. The pin & clasp predates the roll-over designs and thus this piece is pre-1960s. 

Weight 8.4 g

Size:7cm.

Condition: No issues. It's perfect, gold gilt over 925 sterling silver. It's rare to find them in this untouched state! They tend to be polished down to silver. It has been in my collection for a long time and I've rarely cleaned it. Cleaning would bring it up beautifully but it also reduces the gilt cover. In truth it doesn't look tarnished in the flesh, it's just the camera lights that show everything. I do have high quality, non abrasive, gold cleaning cloths, should you require this cleaned before sending, please do request this, I will happily do so. Once clean, pop in an airtight bag, this prevents oxidization.

A nice original H.L.I ( Highland Light Infantry ) cap badge that has been mounted on a mother-of-pearl disc, sterling silver rim and converted into a badge at some point.

The back brooch fitting is typically Victorian. It has a nice tight hinge and the fittings are good. Bought as silver. You can just tell it's silver when you work with the metal.
