A Fine Antique Victorian Scottish Silver Agate St Andrews Cross & Crown Brooch

THIS IS FOR A BEAUTIFUL. ANTIQUE VICTORIAN SCOTTISH SILVER, AGATE & CITRINE, ST ANDREWS CROSS & CROWN BROOCH. DATING FROM AROUND 1880 THIS BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE BROOCH MADE OF STERLING SILVER WITH ITS CIRCULAR DESIGN FEATURES A CENTRAL SHIELD MOTIF AND SCOTTISH SALTIRE CROSS WITH A LION, SURMOUNTED BY A ROYAL CROWN. THE STONES CONSIST OF RED AGATE, BLOODSTONE GREEN, AND MONTROSE GREY WHICH ALL SET OFF THE BROOCH BEAUTIFULLY.

THE POLISHED REVERSE SILVER CASING WITH ITS PIN, "C" CLASP AND SAFETY CHAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH SCOTTISH JEWELRY, THERE ARE NO HALLMARKS BUT HAVING PERSONALLY TESTED THIS PIECE, I WILL FULLY GUARANTEE THAT THE FRAME IS MADE FROM STERLING-GRADE SILVER. THIS PIECE IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE SILVER CASING, THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THE STONES IS A HAIRLINE FRACTURE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE CIRCULAR SECTION BUT THIS IS BARELY VISIBLE, AND AS IT'S ENCASED WITH SILVER IT'S VERY STABLE (PLEASE SEE PHOTO 5) THE REST OF THE BROOCH SHOWS MINUTE BLEMISHES AND TINY SURFACE MARKS ASSOCIATED WITH AGE. APPROX TOTAL HEIGHT - 6.2CM (62MM).

APPROX TOTAL WIDTH - 4.1CM (41MM).
