    Apologies for the shocking photos, these are screenshots from a sellers job lot of jewellery. Am I daft (steady now:shy:)or does this brooch look like it’s trying to suggest it has Austro Hungarian ancestry? Or modern costume not worth a second look? :confused:
    Thanks for looking :)

    Ooh, exciting :)
    There is only a glimpse of the back. I’ll screen shot it. I don’t want to ask the seller for better photos and give the game away!

    Are you able to replace the missing pearls & stones? Do you want this for you or to sell?

    For me!. I would replace the pearls and put it in my hoard. I only sell stuff I don’t like or doesn’t interest me. I’m a skinflint though so it would have to be a bargain :hilarious:

    An Austro-Hungarian Historic Revival beauty.:happy:
    The photo of the back doesn't give much away, but there is a slight chance it is from the early years of Hungary as an independent state. Very slight, and even then it is worth the investment.
    The central petals look enameled to me,:hungry: a good sign.

    Grab it! (this is an order:pompous:)
