Antique Edwardian Miniature Portrait of Young Girl Brooch | Child's Portrait on Ivory | Gold Filled

Antique Edwardian miniature portrait of a child, hand painted on thin ivory backed by cardboard. The portrait is set behind glass in a gold filled frame brooch. The pieces can be removed from the frame by pushing from the front with even pressure, though it is not recommended. The raised back bezel was likely intended to fold over the back to close.

The interior of the back plate has a hand engraving that reads: "Turner Born March 7 1900" which requires a good eye to see (and is nearly impossible to photograph).

Measures 1.37 inches.

Good condition. Much of the white paint on the portrait has worn off, primarily along the girl's collar. Gold filled frame has a few dark spots from age, and one deep scratch on the back plate. The bezel on the back is uneven (as it was made), and has some crimps and creases, as segment may have been pushed down to hold everything in place.

*Box is a diplay and not included.
