SALE Antique Victorian Pressed Horn Cupid Angel Mourning Brooch
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $3.50 USD
Price for shipping to USA
This is a fine old dark brown pressed mourning brooch in the form of a flying cupid or young angel carrying a garland. It dates from the 2nd half of the 1800s. It has a brass pin stem and C clasp. There are no markings. I believe that it is composed of pressed horn material though it could be vulcanite or gutta percha.
The brooch measures 2.25" x 1.5".
Condition is good considering the age and the material.
This brooch is unusual for the material used, large size, and appealing subject matter. Very seldom seen.
