British Victorian brooch from the late Edwardian period, made of sterling silver and hallmarked Birmingham in 1916, as indicated by the official hallmarks: a lion passant (sterling silver), an anchor (Birmingham) and the date "r".

This meticulous design features two facing horseshoes and a floral basket in the center, crafted from engraved and openwork silver. Horseshoes were symbols of good luck and protection, very popular in sentimental jewelry of the time. The floral basket, in turn, represents abundance, affection, and good wishes, creating a piece rich in symbolic meaning.

Fitted with its original long pin clasp, typical of the period, in perfect working order. A piece with over a century of history, ideal for collectors, lovers of antique symbolism, and English symbolic silver jewelry. A perfect gift!

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
