On offer is an antique Pinchbeck picture frame brooch, a distinctive example of early portrait jewellery. Pinchbeck, an 18th–19th century gilt metal created by Christopher Pinchbeck, was widely used for fine costume pieces due to its gold-like appearance and durability. This brooch features a glazed oval compartment containing an old photographic portrait, framed by an elegant twisted Pinchbeck surround with decorative detailing.

The brooch measures approximately 45 by 30mm and is presented in good antique condition, displaying age-related wear consistent with its period. A charming and increasingly scarce example of Victorian portrait jewellery.
