Antique flower brooch Edwardian jewellery

Early Edwardian or twentieth century antique floral brooch that was assembled by hand, rather than machine manufactured.

Made in a bright gold tone metal, which has some patination with age.

All the antique brooch parts have been put together separately, including each individual petal and soldered together. A time consuming process

In the center of the flower (which we think is a chrysanthemum) is a faux pearl bead.

The leaves have been realistically stamped to show the veins and indentations of leaves.
Clasp on reverse is C shaped rather than the later ball and clasp design.

The pin wire is traditionally from an iron coloured metal compared to the bright gold metal of the rest of the brooch. This was a trait of the early antique or vintage jewellery makers

A large piece of floral antique jewellery that would have looked perfect pinned on a hat or bag

Measures about 9 cm across and 7 cm at its widest

This is possibly a Charles Horner brooch due to its construction - see the book "Charles Horner of Halifax" for reference.
