Buyer's premium:

This lot presents a gold-toned metal brooch, likely of Victorian or Edwardian style. It features ornate scrollwork with a central starburst setting containing a small, clear stone. A safety chain is attached. The brooch is housed in its original fitted rectangular black case with a royal blue velvet interior. The lid of the box is marked “JEWELLER & WATCHMAKER & OPTICIAN”, “BROS”, and “15 BROADGATE, COVENTRY”. A folded white paper note, handwritten in purple ink, accompanies the brooch and box. The note includes references to “1908”, “engagement”, “brooch”, “wedding”, and “1990”, suggesting a sentimental history associated with the piece. The brooch appears in good condition commensurate with age, the box shows some external wear, and the note is creased but legible.
