This is a lovely example of an Art Deco 1930’s cameo. The cameo is carved from real shell and set into a brass filigree mount.
The brass mount does feature some discolouration that we have been unable to clean out, and there is a later addition of a roll-over clasp to the rear.

The brooch measures 3.2cm tall by 2.7cm wide.

This is a great piece of Victorian Mourning Jewellery. A brooch featuring a Tintype photograph of a well dressed gentleman.
