<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MmePlantier, post: 4434610, member: 22363&quot;]Hello, </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you are all well!</p><p>I&#039;m writing you about a black round brooch, with a carved leaf motif and a central round floral decoration surrounded by black rhinestones. The brooch has a trombone clasp. This piece is very charming, but unfortunately I have no information about its geographic origin or its age. </p><p><br /></p><p>The disc (4.5 cm diameter) is very lightweight and is not perfectly flat, but has some kind of very slight ondulation when looked from the side. The little black faceted stones are not all identical in size.</p><p>What kind of material could it be? Plastic/early plastic/other?</p><p>How could I understand more about its dating? My conjecture would be Victorian mourning brooch (or a later Victorian revival) but I don&#039;t know much about this period...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]380160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]380161[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]380162[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]380163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
