[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 9574244, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]460651[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460648[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460644[/ATTACH] Hello everyone, I saw this old brooch for sale online, and the pictures of its back made me buy it. I recognized a good mystery and I would love to see this one unravel! Can you see the striking similarities with the cross I already showed here a while ago? The way the back is constructed and the drop look exactly the same! Some paste stones are replaced on the brooch. I can see the French boars head mark (1838- now), but the rest of the marks is not clear to me. So, these are my thoughts: The brooch and cross definitely look to be close family to each other! The brooch is French. The boars head is from 1838 or later but the brooch findings make me think its a bit later, maybe 1880-1900. My cross might be older than the brooch because its back is really nice and worn (but maybe thats just because pendant rub more against clothes?) So is the cross Georgian like we first thought or also much younger than it seems? And also: are both of these revival-style? Have you ever seen similar backs like these on jewelry like this? I m also having visions of my unknown German maker AG again! (same use of colored paste stones, maybe same time frame) Any help with my mystery is greatly appreciated!
