{"product_id":"may-silver-name-brooch","title":"Antique Silver 'May' Name Brooch c.1890","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA charming antique silver name brooch dating to around 1890, with the name \"MAY\" in bold raised lettering set within a shaped cartouche of pointed profile, decorated with engraved geometric motifs above and below the name and small floral accents at either side. The structured, architectural form gives this brooch a slightly more formal character than the softer foliate name brooches of the period — crisp and confident in its design, with a good weight and presence for its modest dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe hallmarks are too rubbed to read fully, but the style and construction are entirely consistent with Birmingham silver of the 1880s–1900 period. Condition is excellent throughout. May was both a given name and a term of seasonal endearment in the Victorian period, and name brooches of this quality make appealing gifts as much as collectible antiques.\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: Present but rubbed (c.1880s–1900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: 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: Pointed cartouche, raised \"MAY\" lettering, engraved geometric decoration, floral side motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 45mm x 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 2.54g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sterling Silver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64944022946141,"sku":"SAO365","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/20-01-26-2927copy.jpg?v=1781695494","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/may-silver-name-brooch","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
