Vintage Bone Carved Floral Brooch

This beautiful brooch features carved roses with a gold plated back and base metal pin and original safety chain. It is in excellent condition with very little wear and tear and measures 5.5cm x 3cm.

Ivory and bone jewellery enjoyed popularity during the Victorian Era. As people began to travel more in the mid-1800s, they brought carved jewelry pieces home as souvenirs from Switzerland and France. Large carved brooches reached their height of popularity in the mid-Victorian period (1860-1885). 

We are able to roughly date the age of the brooch by the pin and catch at the back and believe this brooch is early 20th century.
