A Lovely Antique Italian ‘800’ Silver Shell Cameo Brooch centred with a high-relief carving of St George on horseback overcoming the dragon. The cameo appears to be carved shell, with the creamy white relief standing out against a warm orange-brown ground. The subject is framed by a decorative serrated mount with a fine inner beaded border, giving the piece a crisp, jewellery-like finish – circa 1920.
* This is the kind of jewel that sits beautifully alongside mourning jewellery, cameos, and classical revival accessories!
