*This piece is an example of Blackamoor jewellery, a style rooted in early European depictions of African and Middle Eastern figures. While admired for its craftsmanship, it reflects racial and colonial stereotypes from its time. It is offered here as a historical artifact, not an endorsement of its imagery. Buyers are encouraged to consider both its artistic and cultural significance with appropriate context*.
Antique Victorian sterling silver blackamoor brooch with rosette stars ("Pastry Icing") used for collar and hat ornament.
Wonderful detailing and beautiful example of the 19th century craftsmanship. Each of the rosette stars is attached individually.
The tube hinge pin and C-clasp are both original and functional. The tube hinge is made in brass.
No hallmarks present.
Dimensions: 36mm x 30mm Weight: 4g
