Beautiful, large Pietra Dura (hardstone mosaic) brooch in a 14k gold rectangular frame circa 19th century. 

They are most commonly found in round frames, so I like the uniqueness of this piece depicting a white lily.

The back has a hook on which to hang a watch (or perhaps another ornament).

Unmarked but tests as 14k gold.

Lovely condition overall with some minor flaws to note:

  • There is minor wear and hairline fractures in the stone, but there are no loose pieces and everything is secure

Presents beautifully.
