Antique Victorian Carved Scenic Shell Cameo Brooch Guitar Mandolin Border
Sold
Antique Victorian Carved Scenic Shell Cameo Brooch Guitar Mandolin Border. The piece is in great estate condition but there is a hole drilled into the cameo's border. I believe the metal is either brass or pinchbeck. The piece has a twist border and it is flanked on the sides with a crossed guitar and mandolin. The carved shell cameo depicts the silhouette of a woman standing in front of a cottage and tree in the background.
The cameo measures about .95" long by .75" wide and .25" thick. There is a spot on the border when one could attach a chain to wear as a necklace if one wished but it was NOT designed to be worn this way.
