West German Victorian Portrait Limogé Cameo Amber Crystal Filigree Brooch & Earring Set

A beautiful 1940’s West German hallmarked gold plated brass filigree openwork brooch & earrings set. While this style of jewelry is not uncommon, this particular example is a very unique. What makes it so is the portrait on this set. The center oval limogé has a portrait of a very androgynous looking figure. It could be a man or a woman, as fops of the time period were quite feminine. Wearing a huge black hat full of flowers and topped with big red ostrich feather plumes. The back of both the brooch and earrings are hallmarked West Germany. 

Brooch: 2” x 2”

Earrings: 1.25” x 1”
