WOW! Antique 9K Gold Young Queen Victoria ROYALTY Miniature Portrait Brooch 1838

Description: A large and incredible antique Victorian 9k gold, enamel and porcelain young Queen Victoria miniature portrait brooch, dating to circa 1838, presented in a Collingwood of Conduit Street, London box. Queen Victoria (1819-1901) came to the throne on 20 June 1837 at just 18 years old, her coronation took place on 28 June 1838 when she was 19 and this fantastic brooch would have been painted to commemorate this occasion. The famous jewelers Collingwood of Conduit Street, London, England had their premises at 46 Conduit St, W1 from 1830 to 1987. Jewelers and medal makers to the Royal Family they were among the finest retail jewelers in London evidenced by regular commissions from Prince Albert and Queen Victoria herself. Notably the crimson velvet lining of the box is the same color and material as the Queen's coronation robe. It is super hard to find miniature Queen Victoria coronation paintings and this amazing solid 9k yellow gold porcelain brooch is both a beautiful item to wear as well as being a wonderful piece of English royal history! The brooch has a large and high domed oval porcelain plaque which has been fabulously painted in thick, colorful enamels, the portrait shows a young and beautiful teenage Queen Victoria at her coronation, the painting is highly detailed and shows the Queen looking right with rosy cheeks, a beautifully defined nose and mouth, her famous large blue eyes and with her short parted hair curled back behind her ears complete with long dangling earrings. She wears a gold and crimson velvet crown as well her coronation robe (known as the Robe of State which is now in The Royal Collection Trust) made of crimson velvet, lined and edged with ermine and two deep rows of gold lace. The portrait is encircled with gold and stunning royal blue enamel, the porcelain has been bezel set in a heavy solid 9k yellow gold frame with pretty rope twist decorations, the reverse has a pin and c clasp as well as a little attached bail so it can be worn as a pendant-an outstanding piece and a rare opportunity to own a young Queen Victoria miniature painting! The brooch is stamped '9CT' and tests for 9k gold. The brooch is presented in a crimson velvet and white silk lined box with gold tooled crimson exterior from Collingwood of Conduit Street. The brooch measures approximately 2 3/8 x 1 7/8 inches and is about 3/4 deep from pin to the top of the domed porcelain. The brooch weighs approximately 27.6 grams. The brooch is in general very good condition with super bright colors and overall light general wear including a couple of small areas of rubbing to the enamel on the high areas. The hinge is strong and the pin closes well. The box has general wear including some water staining to the silk and some leather wear around the hinges. The top is a little wobbly but it closes well. Please check all the pictures. Thanks for looking and please take a look at my other items! WOW!
