Antique Italian Micro Mosaic Floral Picture Frame Brooch – Marked Italy
Here we have a beautifully crafted and richly detailed antique Italian micro mosaic picture frame brooch from the late 19th to early 20th century. The round frame is adorned with intricate floral mosaic patterns composed of hand-set tesserae in vivid blues, greens, pinks, yellows, and whites, all delicately bordered by a twisted gilt metal rope edge.
The reverse is marked “ITALY,” and includes a functional pinback for use as a brooch, as well as small spherical feet, allowing it to stand upright as a miniature portrait display.
Approx. 2 1/8" diameter
Condition:
Good antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age. Some minor wear to gilt finish on the back. Micro mosaic is intact with no visible loss. Original glass insert is present but may have faint scratches or age marks.
