C1900 Arts and Crafts hammered silver brooch with amethyst, Birmingham, DAWN Reg

  

A beautiful c1900 Arts and Crafts brooch, in the most lovely foliate design. It is widely believed these pieces were created by a silversmith in Birmingham for Liberty & Co of London. I adore everything about this fabulous brooch - it sits beautifully in your hand, is a good size and weight and the details are just perfect. Four sets of leaves and central berry are set around the perimeter of the brooch.

The leaves are shaped so simply with a single ridge down the centre. There is also a lovely, folded over paper effect with the corners of the square sections between them. Such a lovely detail, indicative of a quality maker. In excellent condition, including original pin and C clasp. It measures 3.5cm in diameter.
