A pretty antique Victorian large Vulcanite Flower themed Brooch.
This pretty antique Victorian Brooch is made from Vulcanite. Vulcanite (also sometimes called "ebonite") was made by combining and heating sap of the Euphorbia or Ficus trees from Malaysia with sulphur. Invented in 1843 by Thomas Hancock, pieces made of vulcanite were almost always molded, not carved, and it was used mainly in making jewelry.
This particular large Brooch features a pretty raised 3D Rose Flower theme with a 'Greek Key' design around the outside. It has a good working Pin and a secure Rollover Clasp which looks to be a 1930s/40s replacement to the original pin.
It measures 5.5cm x 4.5cm and weighs 22.5g. It is in excellent antique condition as shown.
We strive to describe and photograph all of our items clearly and truthfully. Unless otherwise stated, our vintage and antique jewellery is not cleaned. This is due to many requests for vintage jewellery to be left in it's original condition. If you have any questions about this item then please don't hesitate to contact me prior to purchase... Thank you.
