DESIGNER/COMPANY/LOCATION:
Unsigned, but most likely from Scotland:
Celtic
motifs, the order of the Garter, ring brooches, luckenbooths as well as many
beautiful abstract geometric forms were crafted in their thousands by workshops
from Inverness to Glasgow.
Surprisingly, the majority of these artisans have remained anonymous as pieces were
rarely signed. Little is known about their history, but we do know they were
handmade and that no two pieces are alike.
METAL:
Sterling
Silver
DETAILS:
~ 1900s Celtic Brooch/Pin
~ Large, Faceted & Prong
Set, Open Back Citrine Paste (crystal) which was commonly used in antique Scottish
jewelry (along with the Cairngorm).
~ The stone setting
is raised high and supported with Silver Thistle Leaves.
~ The surround is lovely and
comprised of (6) Hand cut, Crescent shaped Scottish Agate Gemstones: 2
Bloodstones (heliotrope), 2 Carnelians, & 2 Blue Lace Agates (very lightly
banded) *Crescents moons were a popular motif and believed to bring Good Luck.
~ Reverse Stamped Sterling
Silver; Secure Period C Clasp Closure
CONDITION:
Excellent
Vintage
condition
overall with very minor wear considering this is over a
hundred-years-old. Wear to some of the agates, but unseen with naked eye; A few
teeny tiny ‘flea bites’ on the citrine crystal noticeable upon magnified inspection. Please
view all photos to judge the condition for yourself.
