Description
From an estate and needs to be polished out…..Having many decades of aged patina this is a Victorian Art Deco or 1800 Victorian Etruscan estate pin with an upgraded art deco 1940s locking clasp. Made of gold colored metal, gold filled/plate, brass it has a lot of very deep, dark patina from age and some age spots in the metal. Size is 1 1/2″ long by 1″ tall. It has Victorian Etruscan design, raised hand applied work on the front and is made the old way in 2 separate pieces; front and back with a large hollow space in the center so it is very antique looking and feeling. It is also quite light weight as you would find in 1800s Victorian jewelry. Depth is 1/8″ from the top down to the flat back not including the pinback. No dents or dings or repairs. It is also very strong and very well made. A nice old estate addition for your antique jewelry collection.
