Antique Victorian Clear Glass & Paste Rhinestone Bow Brooch • Silver Tone • Late 1800s
This late‑Victorian brooch brings together refined geometry and antique charm. Four emerald‑cut clear glass stones frame a cluster of paste rhinestones, creating a luminous focal point that feels both delicate and architectural. The silver‑tone metal has naturally darkened over time, giving the piece a beautiful contrast that enhances the clarity of the stones and highlights its 19th‑century character.
Uncommon in design and quietly striking, it’s a piece that carries the craftsmanship and presence of the era with effortless grace.
Though unsigned, the craftsmanship speaks for itself — a piece that bridges antique charm and timeless sophistication.
Likely European origin — French, English, or Austrian late‑Victorian craftsmanship.
Good vintage condition. The front stones are bright and intact; the silver‑tone metal shows darkening consistent with age, adding character and depth. The back reveals areas of silver‑tone coverage and a sturdy C clasp with long pin typical of the period.
