Details
Antique Victorian Italian micro‑mosaic brooch, crafted in the late 19th century with a classic round floral motif. The tiny hand‑cut glass tesserae are set with precision, forming a vibrant bouquet framed by a traditional millefiori border. Colors are well‑preserved, showing the fine workmanship associated with Italian Grand Tour pieces of this era.
Set in warm, aged brass typical of late‑19th‑century Italian micro‑mosaic work; non‑magnetic. The pin mechanism on the back is silver‑tone metal, original to the piece. The front was gently cleaned to reveal the colors, while the back has been left as found except for wiping with a cloth.
Measures approximately 3.5 cm across.
Condition:
Very good antique condition with no missing tesserae and no repairs. Mosaic surface is clean and bright. Brass frame shows gentle age patina appropriate to period. Pin mechanism is secure and functions properly. SEE PHOTOS.

With a background as an artist and a love for rescuing homeless items I find great satisfaction in re-homing beautiful things. My hobby is hunting down these items from estates, moving sales, thrift shops and the like and my job is getting them to you. All items are cleaned, inspected and tested (if warranted) then carefully packed for shipment to their new home.
