Start price: £5

Estimated price: £10 - £15

Buyer's Premium:

A London 925 silver bar brooch of heraldic design, featuring a central circular frame enclosing a lion rampant in red guilloché enamel. The motif is set against a cross-hatched textured ground visible through the translucent enamel and is mounted on a tapered, rectangular section bar. The reverse is fitted with a simple pin and C-clasp mechanism. Four hallmark punches are struck on the bar to the left of the central motif. These include a lion passant and a leopard’s head; the remaining two marks, representing a maker and a date letter, are not legible. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.


Condition report:

The brooch shows signs of age and significant surface tarnish. The 925 silver surfaces exhibit heavy yellowed oxidation and tarnish, particularly on the right-hand side of the bar (photo 1). The red guilloché enamel is well-preserved with no visible chips, cracks, or losses. The pin mechanism is functional but the pin displays slight bending (photo 1). No original packaging or case is supplied.
