Description
A rare coiled snake brooch in a gilt base metal that started its life off as a buckle from the Georgian era that has been converted into a brooch.This brooch has a C clasp present and ready for wear, a wonderful way to give this buckle new life. I have not been able to find another example of this buckle during my research, it is quite rare to see a single snake intertwined so many times within its self. Once she is sold she will be gone as always, one of one.
Condition: Good antique condition, some small signs of wear to gilt from use mostly visible under a loupe. Â Brooch has a C clasp which was added on at a later date, some verdigris seen underneath.
Brooch is 78.90mms in length and due to shape it is roughly 21.50mms at widest point.
Hallmarks: No marks present, tests as 9ct gold
Weight: 23.27 grams
