Description
This is a fun (but not so little) vintage brooch from the 1940s, in the Victorian Revival style. It has a long and flexible fob section of linked “engraved” bars suspended from a top bar set with a red rhinestone. Additional movement is provided by a drop suspended from a starburst riveted to the fob, set with an aqua-coloured rhinestone. The metal is a warm gold tone and the brooch is fitted with a rollover safety clasp.
Dimensions
The top bar is 3.7 cms wide, the bottom is 2 cms wide and the total height is 11 cms. (1.25″ and 7/8″ wide by 4.25″ high)
Marks
No maker’s or other marks.
Condition
This brooch is in very good vintage condition. There is slight discolouration to the top rung of the fob but otherwise the goldtone is in excellent condition. The clasp hardware swivels slightly, as it is riveted on at the centre only, but holds securely.
