Seller's Description
Genuine Antique 15ct Gold Royal Crest Bar Brooch Pin
Hello there and welcome (kroeso) to my wee store.
I sell online in high-end shops and websites and pre-Covid used to attend trade fairs around the globe. I have a huge stock of "bargain basement" items which were great at fairs for inexpensive extras. I also have a massive stock of highly valuable and collectable items never seen before on the internet.
I find it heart-breaking that brooches such as this no longer seem to have the appeal they once did as they are one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you could have.
A bar brooch like this could be worn on so many pieces of clothing providing an elegant statement or even as a unique hanger for your OBE (as shown).
ABOUT THIS BROOCH
Constructed from solid 15ct yellow gold (625 parts per 1000) crown and crest.
Fully maker assay marked old style UK. X-ray tested.
Dates to latter end of the 19th Century (c1880s)
The style is classic Victorian, of very sturdy construction and features a highly detailed depiction of St Edward's crown surrounded by a wreath with red enamel detail.
Now here is the problem - the bar mount is NOT original as it is 12ct gold front and back and c1950s. Had I made this up I would have used a 15ct gold bar pin (or 18ct if I couldn't locate one) but each to their own.
It is still a wonderful brooch but I have slashed the price because of this.
Fastens with a gold hinged pin and hook clasp - all in good order.
Condition is very good, especially considering its age.
Length is 48mm.
Width is 15 mm.
It sits 6.5 mm proud.
Weight is 5 grams
You would expect to pay between £1,000 and £1,500 for a brooch like this from a fancy antique shop, depending on your ability to hunt down a bargain.
Fully insured and tracked postage MUST be purchased with this brooch.
CONDITION REPORT
Many of my brooches are VERY old and have some signs of this. I ensure they are fully operational and can be worn from arrival but I do not like polishing them to "as new" because I feel this detracts from their history. I will consider doing so, for a small fee, if you ask nicely ;-)
I guarantee all items to be as described and will accept a return on anything you are not happy with.
Please contact me directly via messaging should you wish to do this.
