Description

32 glittering rose-cut diamonds form a fragrant bouquet. The gemstones are set in silver, while the pin on the back is made of gold. The two large flowers are mounted so that they can be moved, creating a beautiful interplay. This brooch, which offers us this view, transports us to the Eternal City of Rome. This piece of jewellery was made there during the last phase of the popes' reign over the city and the church see. This is revealed by the hallmark on the C-hook with the papal tiara and crossed keys. This hallmark was used in the years from 1815 to 1870, when Rome was conquered in the course of the unification of Italy and shortly afterwards declared the capital. Stylistically, our piece of jewellery, which is a seamless continuation of rococo designs, cannot be dated more precisely. For dating, compare a very similar piece, which is kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, under inv. no. E.195-2012. Our brooch is beautifully preserved and immediately captivates with its soft sparkle.
