A fine Victorian mourning brooch featuring beautifully preserved hair work arranged behind an original glazed panel and framed by a delicate border of natural pearls. The composition is typical of 19th-century mourning jewellery, created as a deeply personal keepsake and rich in both sentiment and craftsmanship. The reverse is solid 9ct gold, fitted with a metal pin as commonly seen on period pieces. Well balanced and elegant in scale, this brooch remains in excellent antique condition and survives particularly well for its age, with the hairwork, glazing, and pearls all intact.
