Antique Victorian 9ct Gold Pearl Floral Brooch/ Pendant, Circa 1875

Description This exquisite Victorian brooch dates to circa 1875 and is crafted in warm 9ct yellow gold, exemplifying the refined naturalistic design that defined mid-to-late 19th-century jewellery. Shaped as a  floral burst, the brooch displays a beautifully balanced, radial composition that is both delicate and visually striking. The front is adorned with an array of lustrous seed pearls, graduating subtly in size and carefully set along gently curved gold petals. At the centre sits a slightly larger pearl, drawing the eye and anchoring the design. The pearls’ soft iridescence contrasts elegantly with the rich yellow gold, creating a harmonious and timeless aesthetic. The sculpted gold petals are finely modelled, with graceful contours that capture the Victorian fascination with botanical forms and the beauty of nature. The reverse reveals thoughtful period craftsmanship, with a traditional hinged pin and secure C-clasp, typical of brooches from this era. A fixed gold loop allows the brooch to be worn alternatively as a pendant, reflecting the versatility so often incorporated into Victorian jewellery. This circa 1875 pearl brooch/pendant  is a wonderful example of Victorian craftsmanship. It remains as wearable today as it was nearly 150 years ago, offering timeless beauty and a tangible connection to the artistry of the Victorian era. Approximate size: 3cm x 3cm Product code: 224X0337
