100 years of brooches

I know many visitors to AntiquesAvenue are fond of antique and Vintage brooches.  Today I have been adding a few lovely brooches from the Victorian era and through the 1900s. Lets take a tour of 100 years of brooches.

Victorian bird brooch

Starting with this Antique Brooch  a Victorian stunner ( ok its not on the site yet, I want to keep it for myself for a short while ) This exotic bird is set with turquoise, pearl and has a garnet red eye. The bird is silver and gold and he sits on a multi coloured gold branch and brooch. This brooch is quite an impressive size at 5.7 cms long. It dates from the later 1800s. Watch out for this beauty coming to AntiquesAvenue later this year.

The rest of the Vintage Brooches here in this blog entry are already on antiquesavenue.co.uk
