An incredible, unusual antique rolled gold brooch, set with a hand carved shell cameo.

A beautifully skilful carving, the quality of the cameo is complemented by the fitted frame, which curves and moulds around the natural contortions of the shell.

Likely showing a scene from ancient mythology, the cameo depicts two ladies holding what looks to be a fasces, a sword and a torch, but note the anachronistic corset style dresses the two wear.

A magnificent piece of Victoriana, this would make a fine addition to any collection.

In really nice, antique condition, though the rolled gold is worn, and the brooch is bent to the reverse. The cameo is in fine condition, though the faces are lightly rubbed.
