Sold for: £48
An antique oval landscape brooch featuring a hand-painted miniature on a ceramic or enamel plaque. The central plaque depicts a romanticised landscape scene with a ruined Gothic-style building situated on a grassy bank next to a body of water. The composition includes stylised trees in the foreground and a distant spire visible under a pale blue and white sky. The plaque is set within a white metal mount, likely silver. The wide, flat border is decorated with hand-engraved foliate and floral patterns, featuring four-petaled flowers and leaf sprays. The reverse features a traditional C-clasp with a long, hand-wrought pin that extends slightly beyond the frame of the brooch. No hallmarks or maker’s marks are visible.
Width: 52mm.
