This brooch from the mid-Victorian era in England in the 1870s is made of sterling silver and gilt, and the hard Stone inlay (pietra dura) comes from Italy.
Pietra dura literally translates as hard stone. All the color blocks in this type of work are different natural stones. Because each natural stone has different hardness, it must be polished and cut one by one into small pieces that fit together perfectly like a puzzle. shapes, and then combined into patterns, which is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming.
The work uses natural stone with rich textures to collage a bright orange-red bird. The delicate carvings perfectly express the movement of the bird's wings and its soft and streamlined body. It is paired with white flowers that are refreshing in tone but equally exquisite in detail. The result shows superb cutting skills and composition design.
There is a glass interlayer on the back of the brooch, which can be used as a photo box. It is in good antique condition and has normal signs of oxidation and wear. It is a century-old antique jewelry and is not in new condition.
