1885 Victorian English Silver and Paste Engraved Brooch Pin

This remarkable Victorian brooch can be dated to Birmingham, 1885.  The brooch features scrolling patterns of engraving on a scalloped silver oval with starburst highlights at four points.  The center stone is foil back paste and is set with claw-like prongs surrounding the stone.  The stone is clear with a reflective tint.  The piece is fully hallmarked.  It measures 1 3/4" across in width and is 1 1/16" in height.  It has been very lightly hand polished and can be further buffed or left with original patina as the owner desires.
