Antique Georgian 14ct Gold Mourning Brooch with Seed Pearls & Black Enamel c.1800

This wonderfully crafted and intricate 14ct gold mourning brooch was made in the Georgian period c.1800 and features a wonderful array of embellishments. The brooch itself is shaped in a cartouche design with a central cartouche which is surrounded by a border of seed pearls. The outer border features a finely hand-chased floral motif which encompasses the black enamel with gold lettering. The reverse side features a c clasp pin and a later added safety chain. Overall, a finely crafted and quality piece of Georgian jewellery with an impressive amount of detail in a modest form. The gold mount is unmarked as is common with many articles of this period. As such, we have tested it for 14ct gold. All our jewellery come with a complimentary modern hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
