Description
A rare and poignant early 19th century mourning brooch, featuring plaited hair preserved under glass, with an engraved inscription dated 1803 to the reverse.
Hairwork jewellery was commonly created as a deeply personal memorial following the death of a loved one, particularly during the late Georgian period.

The delicate arrangement of hair beneath glass and the hand-engraved date are consistent with authentic mourning pieces of this era.

The brooch is set in a warm-toned gold metal mount (not tested for gold) and fitted with an early pin fastening to the reverse. A moving and highly collectible object of social history.
