EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Cameo brooch from the 1890s, crafted out of agate. Created by an English School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece is now housed at the Fashion Museum Bath. A generous gift from Mrs Hull Grundy and Mr Giffard, it represents a remarkable blend of classical and Victorian aesthetics. The brooch features a female relief profile reminiscent of ancient Greek artistry. Adorned with intricate details, such as the majestic griffin and laurel reef, it exudes an air of timeless elegance. The oval shape adds to its graceful appeal while highlighting the delicate craftsmanship. This cameo brooch serves as both a pin and badge, making it not only visually striking but also functional for adornment purposes. It symbolizes the fusion between male and female energies through its depiction of gods and staff-like jewelry elements. With its rich history and cultural significance, this cameo brooch epitomizes the beauty of classical portraiture in Victorian-era jewelry design. Its presence evokes feelings of admiration for traditional craftsmanship while celebrating femininity in all its glory.
