Beautiful & Rare Vintage Brooch/Pendant from the early 1900's.
Depiction of Mt.Vesuvius volcano erupting over Pompeii on the bank of the Bay of Naples.
Its carved from Tiger shell and has several layers. Dark brown, light brown, cream and a beautiful pale blue/grey for the river. Its nicely detailed and the back is a beautiful off white colour.
The actual mount is silver and looks to be plated with a pale copper type metal.
I've had this for many years b...ut now it's time for someone else to enjoy it. I've looked after it well so it's in great condition for its age.
No visible damage to the carving which is securely bezel set.
It has a nice long pin and clasp and bale ready for a chain.
I'm putting a reasonably high starting price on it because it's quite a rare piece and I want the buyer to take good care of it.
It measures 4cm across.
Will be safely boxed and sent via tracked postage.
Box for display only.
