Antique Micromosaic 18K Gold Brooch, French, c. 1880
Antique micromosaic 18K gold brooch bearing French hallmarks. The brooch was made in France and the micromosaic is probably Italian. The motif is unusual of a watermelon seller. The piece measures 1.75 inches across and 1.5 inches in length. The 18K yellow gold frame has wonderful bead and rope design. The brooch is in fine condition and all original.
Our model is a medium to large size lady.
