Brooches set with Pearls, Diamonds and Rubies . <br><br>4*4.15cm Wt:11.63g/4.06*4.07cm Wt:11g<br><br>Pair of Late-Victorian gold brooches modelled as flower-filled baskets. Open-work filigree basket bodies pav??-set with diamonds, decorated with three-dimensional chased rose-flower sprays and ribbon-bow motifs, suspending pearls from the base. The pair is gem-set asymmetrically: one brooch accented with pearls and diamonds; the second combines rubies, pearls and diamonds. Basket-and-floral motifs symbolised prosperity and well-wishes, characteristic of the Victorian-era Etruscan-Revival taste. Survivals retaining the original pair are rare and highly collectible. Open-work filigree intact, chased floral details crisp; all gemstones remain firmly set, overall in good preserved condition.<br><br><br>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS OR CANCELLATIONS.<br><br> Additional photographs and condition reports may be provided upon request as a courtesy only.
