<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9616279, member: 79705&quot;]Found this rather different silver pietra dura brooch and had to pick it up. They&#039;re just so cute and dorky looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]469164[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I can find a similar image in larger framed plaques (one attributed to around 1890-1900), but none in brooches. Few birds in general; florals of course being the most popular subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]469165[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>No markings that I can find. I can&#039;t tell if the pin is original or replaced, but it looks pretty cleanly set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]469166[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously I need to give it a clean and a polish but I am thinking soaking should be avoided as I don&#039;t know how the inlay is affixed.
