Description
Beautiful antique garnet brooch made of tombac in the shape of a crescent moon with star, decorated with numerous red sparkling garnets in rose cut. On the back the brooch has a well working needle with C-hook. The motif of the crescent moon with a six-pointed star enjoyed great popularity from the second half of the 19th century in the wake of general enthusiasm for Orientalism. The mysterious strangeness was appreciated, and both painting and the art of jewellery adapted motifs from exotic subjects.
The beautiful garnet brooch was made around 1860 in Bohemia and is a nice addition to many different styles.
Dimensions of the brooch: 3,0 x 2,8 cm.
Diameter of the grenade: approx. 0.8 - 4.3 mm.
Weight: 5.1 grams.

You will receive the brooch in one of our high-quality cases and with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: Vintage and antique jewellery are worn objects which may show slight signs of wear due to their history.
