Antique 9ct Key and Padlock Brooch, English Circa 1900.

A fabulous piece of antique jewellery, manufactured in 9ct gold.
The brooch is handmade and depicts two keys bound together by a rope with a padlock securing them.

There is much symbolism in Victorian jewellery:-
The key has the power to unlock the heart, therefore love and sentiment.
The padlock protects the heart and thereby love.

These two keys are bound by a rope that cannot be untied - what a superb gift for a loved one.

These handmade miniature works of art need to be studied, and you need to know the manufacturing process to fully appreciate their character. A modern one would be cast in one piece, having little `definition` left after the casting process.

Dimensions 62.8mm x 18.7mm and 7.5mm in depth.

Hollow manufacture in gold, weighs 4.9g
Unmarked, tests 9ct.

Dates from the Victorian period, circa 1880/1890

A beautiful piece of antique jewellery will look stunning against a blouse, tie, or cravat.
