This exceptional Victorian revival brooch is a little silver sweetheart button brooch.
The Edwardian hallmarked sterling silver button is a hand pierced flower basket (or giardinetti) and is deeply symbolic of abundance, domestic joy, hospitality, and life's fleeting nature.
The silver flower piercing is set against a blackened, ebony wooden background.
This sweetheart button brooch is exceptional and well hallmarked for London, circa 1911.
It has a diameter of 20mm and opens and closes with an era specific c-clasp brooch fitting.
