ESTATE GUILLOCHE ENAMEL ENGLISH PIN
This slender and elegant Victorian bar pin exemplifies the refined aesthetic of antique Guilloche enamel work. The brooch features a mesmerizing enamel finish with an intricate floral design, showcasing shades of green and yellow on a vivid blue background, all set within a lustrous sterling silver frame. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of the era, with the Guilloche technique creating a precise, engine-turned pattern that catches the light and the eye.
The brooch bears a classic C-clasp, typical of pieces crafted in the late 1800s to early 1900s, suggesting its historical provenance. Though the hallmarks have faded with time, the presence of a crown and the letter "W" hint at English craftsmanship, possibly linking it to the renowned silver city of Sheffield. The partially legible letter "S" could suggest a date mark, indicating this piece may hail from 1914. This brooch is a delicate piece of history and a fine representation of the skillful artistry of Victorian England.
