This extraordinary brooch, crafted in masterfully made silver, is a true jewel of 19th-century decorative art. Its Baroque design is distinguished by the depiction of two guardian angels flanking a delicate central cameo. Within the enameled oval is a cherub carrying a basket that appears to contain two eggs, surmounted by a subtle golden star, a detail symbolizing light and divinity. Circa 1870.

The silver frame features intricate floral motifs that enhance the romantic aesthetic of the piece. This goldsmith's work demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship of the era, resulting in a piece of exquisite beauty and significance. The back is made of mother-of-pearl, and all the finishes on this piece are of very high quality, demonstrating that it was crafted by a master goldsmith of the 19th century.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
