Antique Victorian Pin Brooch Gold Filled Etched Chased Floral Scrollwork Beauty

Description

7.1g. 2 1/4" x 5/16" Offering a very pretty Victorian C Clasp pin with a chased Floral and Bamboo design. The pin is gold filled with wear on the edges and the back, but the face where the design is etched seems to be a layer of purer and more brilliant gold and is very pretty. The pin back works securely and has an intentional bend to hold in place. There is verdigris on the hinge part of the pin that I have not attempted to clean, and again, wear on the edges and back. Please see photos, sold as found. The hand chased scrollwork, and flower and bamboo design is beautiful with very light surface scratches commensurate with age. The gold face is pretty and wears well. I love the bamboo on this antique Victorian pin.
