Early 19th Century 15ct Gold Swiss Enamel Brooch of Two Swiss Girls in Traditional Costume

Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty 15ct gold brooch that was made circa 1830 in Switzerland. This type of work is known as Swiss enamel. Many pieces were made for the burgeoning tourist market during the 19th century. Travellers would be able to purchase mountain scenery or Swiss girls and boys dressed in Cantonal costume, all beautifully painted in enamel on gold like miniature paintings. This brooch is a good example of the art with two girls in traditional Swiss costume with a blue and white enamel border of leaves and flowers.
