Victorian 15ct Gold Etruscan Revival Brooch with Locket Back

678L
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart 15ct gold brooch that was made circa 1860-1890. It has a highly decorated finish with hand applied gold wire work. In the 1860s there was a movement called the Etruscan Revival as many finds from the Etruscan period were being unearthed in Italy. Jewellers such as Castellani embraced the challenge of recreating the art and pieces were painstakingly made with hand applied gold wire work. This brooch is an excellent example of the craftsmanship with fine applied gold detail throughout. It has a locket back.
