Vintage Large Antique Finely Detailed Intricate Micro Mosaic Pin Victorian Brooch
This beautiful brooch was made of tiny opaque colored glass milleflori-type tiles, each individually arranged in an intricate pattern by Italian artisans. The tiles are quite tiny which was typical of the older pieces--the finely detailed artistry is amazing. The central design has a bunch of flower blossoms surrounded by a circle of leaves. The other design elements throughout are borde...red by twisted rope metal. The outer edge of the metal setting has a beaded look.
When worn as intended on the diagonal, it is 2 5/8" from tip to tip. Each side is just about 2" long.
It is in very good preowned vintage condition. I looked carefully and can't find any missing stones, though there are so many really tiny ones that sometimes it's hard to be positive. Please see all the pictures for finer detail and ask any questions that might be helpful.
A gorgeous tesserae brooch!
