<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aureliel, post: 315530, member: 3623&quot;]Oh that is brilliant, the first picture in your link looks just like it, too! Thank you!!&nbsp; Very exciting to know what it is. After checking out the (beautiful!) images in your link, I searched for trophy brooches but could only find (also absolutely beautiful) paste-set ones, and none with a silver metal inset like this one. Still, it is very clear that is what it is. How cool!</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed your google link was set to wood carved trophies from the 18th century, do you perhaps know if they were still fairly common in the 19th century as well? Googling exactly the same terms you did but with &quot;19th&quot; instead of &quot;18th&quot; got me quite different results - some trophies (wood) that were slightly similar-looking but also lots of different things, deer&#039;s heads and things like that. Whereas googling it with &quot;18th&quot; yields many results that far more closely resemble the metal picture inside the brooch.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I&#039;m wondering - since the brooch seems definitely later than the 18th century - if perhaps the silver metal bit inside it could be older than the brooch, rather than the other way around?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
