{"product_id":"antique-silver-ellen-pierced-name-brooch-birmingham-c-1891","title":"Antique Silver 'Ellen' Pierced Name Brooch, Birmingham c.1890","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA beautifully worked antique silver name brooch, hallmarked Birmingham with a date letter consistent with the 1880s–1900 period, featuring the name \"ELLEN\" in bold pierced open-work lettering within a circular frame with a finely serrated border. Unlike the simpler raised-letter name brooches of the period, the pierced construction here creates a far more intricate effect — the letters interwoven with engraved foliate sprays and floral motifs that fill the circular field with considerable decorative energy. The result is a brooch with real visual depth and craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe reverse shows a minor dent which does not affect the wearing quality of the piece, and the front is in good condition throughout. A distinctive and accomplished piece of Victorian sentimental silver with strong appeal to collectors and to anyone with a connection to the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHallmarks: Birmingham hallmarks (date letter illegible, c.1880s–1900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Birmingham, UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: Victorian, c.1890\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDesign: Circular pierced open-work \"ELLEN\" lettering, engraved foliate and floral decoration, serrated border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 35mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 4.52g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good — minor dent to reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sterling Silver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64944022683997,"sku":"SAO363","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/20-01-26-2998copy_dbeb6c76-2dd9-42e2-8148-44de05af56b7.jpg?v=1781696549","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/antique-silver-ellen-pierced-name-brooch-birmingham-c-1891","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
