Victorian Jet and Bone Brooch
This striking brooch features a deeply carved bone stag presented against a backdrop of polished jet. The jet has been skillfully worked to create a textured, foliate design surrounding the stag, enhancing the contrast between the creamy bone and the black jet. The brooch is a classic example of Victorian mourning jewellery, where jet was frequently used due to its sombre colour and association with remembrance.
Condition and Collectibility
The brooch appears to be in good condition for its age, with no obvious major damage to the jet or bone. The pin and clasp are present, though their functionality is not assessed. This piece would appeal to collectors of Victorian jewellery, mourning jewellery, or those interested in animal-themed brooches. The combination of materials and the detailed carving make it a unique and desirable addition to any collection.
