20th C. British Silver / Resin Brooch & Earrings
Northwestern Europe, England, ca. 20th century CE. A beautiful and matched set of vintage sterling silver and resin jewelry that includes a brooch and earrings. The brooch is stamped with British hallmarks that include a city mark for London, date letter, and maker initials "LS." The brooch has a slightly curved, archer bow shaped central rod with a lengthy bar pin and hook clasp and a single piece of semi-translucent amber brown resin is coiled around the rod. The matched earrings are comprised of a thick sterling silver hoop - the terminal ends are open and overlap, with a stud post set in this area. The same brown resin ornamentation dangles from the earrings - formed from a single piece that is folded at the narrow center, the opposite tips bent inward to complete the loop. All three are wearable as bold, high-quality statement pieces! Size (brooch): 4" L x 1" W (10.2 cm x 2.5 cm); (earrings): 1.75" L x 0.65" W (4.4 cm x 1.7 cm); silver quality: 93%; total weight: 25.1 grams
Provenance: ex-private Southern California, USA collection, in the USA since 1997
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
