Product Details

An exquisite antique Victorian cameo brooch made in the mid 19th Century. The piece features a high-relief cameo carving, depicting the side profile of a woman. It displays intricate detailing and is carved from a piece of angel skin coral which is desired for its rarity and pale pink colouring.

Roman style Cameos were highly sought after in the 19th century during the 'Grand Tour' days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They often depicted Goddesses and characters from mythology and became a favourite of Queen Victoria also. 

The cameo is framed in a spiralling, Whitby jet base, fitted with a metal pin at the back. It’s a fabulous find and though the frame has developed some wear over time it’s still a beautiful piece of history and highly collectable.
