Antique cut steel flower brooch, Victorian

About the Item

A sweet antique early Victorian era cut steel flower brooch. It is a bar style brooch and could be used as a cravat or tie pin, it features a row of four individual cut steel flowers each with plenty of detail. The flowers look like daisies. It has an old c type clasp and pin fastener. Cut steel rose to popularity in the 18th century initially in France where there were rules surrounding who could and could not wear diamonds and precious gems. It was a painstakingly hard process to create little 'gems' from steel that resembled diamonds and required great skill and many hours of work. The popularity continued and eventually spread across the continent making cut steel jewellery a sought after alternative to diamonds and more expensive gemstones throughout the Georgian era. Condition: Good used condition overall, some light wear to the metal, signs of use and wear commensurate with age, very light rusting. Approx 1.60" width / 0.25" height. Any questions or queries please contact us. FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.
