AN ANTIQUE DIAMOND BROOCH
Modelled as an old-cut diamond fuchsia-spray with four detachable briolette-cut diamond pendants suspended from en tremblant stems, mounted in silver and gold, adapted, mid 19th century, 8.5cm high

Specialist note

The 1887 inventory illustrates the brooch in a different configuration; the fuchsias are hanging down with the briolettes suspended below as opposed to the current construction. It is noted in a later hand that the piece was changed to a head ornament.
