Victorian 18ct Gold Royal Crown & Knot Tie Pin set with Rubies by John Brogden

681X
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful 18ct gold tie pin that was made by the well known 19th century jeweller John Brogden circa 1880. It is composed of a crown set with rubies above a lover’s knot implying a Royal marriage perhaps.

John Brogden was a renowned English goldsmith noted for his ancient, Egyptian, and Renaissance revival designs. He worked in the Covent Garden area of London, first as Brogden and Garland (1826 to 1835). From 1842 to 1864 the firm at that address was listed as Watherston and Brogden and from 1864 to 1880 the location became Brogden’s alone. he exhibited at London and Paris exhibitions in 1851, 1862, 1867 and 1878.  In 1867 he won a gold medal for his jewellery at the Paris International Exhibition. Along with the firm Giuliano he produced some of England’s best examples of revival-style jewellery. Brogden was noted for his superior granulation and filigree work along with outstanding technical skills.  Even his contemporaries, including Castellani praised his work at the 1878 International Exhibition in Paris.

This tie pin comes in the original tooled Moroccan leather case.
