Victorian Morning Brooch

This is a Victorian-era morning brooch, crafted from yellow metal and featuring an oval portrait within. The portrait appears to depict a young child with long hair, likely a memento of a loved one. The brooch is adorned with decorative, scrolling foliate designs and has a pin and C-shaped clasp to the reverse for secure fastening. The style is typical of mourning jewellery popular during the Victorian period, where hair or portraits of the deceased were often incorporated into jewellery as a keepsake.

Condition and Collectibility

The brooch shows signs of age and wear, consistent with its antique status. The metal has a warm patina, and there are minor imperfections to the portrait itself. Despite this, the brooch remains a charming example of Victorian sentimental jewellery. It would appeal to collectors of mourning jewellery, Victorian pieces, or those interested in historical accessories.
