On offer is a rare and unique antique Pinchbeck rotating mourning brooch, featuring a beautifully crafted celluloid horse motif on the front. This exquisite piece is designed to rotate, revealing a compartment at the back where an image or a lock of hair could be placed—an evocative feature of Victorian mourning jewelry.

The brooch is crafted from Pinchbeck, a sought-after gold-toned alloy invented in the 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, offering the appearance of gold without the high cost. The intricately carved horse design, framed within an oval setting, evokes themes of strength, remembrance, and sentimentality.

Measuring 50mm in size, this antique mourning brooch remains in good condition, with wear consistent with its age.
