<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4411244, member: 18716&quot;]I think it is unlikely as the riveting matches and the form matches the backplate shape as well, it can rotate a bit as the stud is now a little loose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason with cut steel jewellery there seems to be an incongruence between general hinge dating and what is written about these.&nbsp; The studs on this are 12 facet, which tends to indicate a mid/late 19thC dating, that said the design isn&#039;t very complex and the glass is most odd.&nbsp; The very late 19th century examples are commonly found with 5 facets, and earlier Georgian ones with 15 (sometimes screwed and not riveted).&nbsp; Also it is generally considered that cut steel jewellery production all but ceased by 1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s and example: <a href="https://www.antiquejewellerycompany.com/shop/georgian-cut-steel-brooch/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquejewellerycompany.com/shop/georgian-cut-steel-brooch/" rel="nofollow">https://www.antiquejewellerycompany.com/shop/georgian-cut-steel-brooch/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note the design is more complex but the smaller studs match and the hinge is near identical.&nbsp; Not sure I would push the date as far back as they suggest, but it gives an indication of what I mentioned above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
