The halo surrounding the central polished stone contains a collection of inlaid Scottish agates and Montrose agates - these are all shiny, polished and in good condition, fully intact and with no damages. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe whole of the back is covered in a layer of curved sterling silver - as you find on antique Scottish pieces. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pin is as you would find on antique Scottish jewellery - with a simple c-curl clasp. The brooch also has a little closed hook section on the top at the back - with an attached silver safety chain to pin on your clothing - so that it was going to be double secure. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a pretty Victorian Scottish brooch: it has a diameter of 3.2 cm (1 1\/4 inches) - so very pretty for a cap, beret, or lapel. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have taken close-up photographs - so please examine these closely to check the condition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is unmarked with a hallmark - which is not to worry about, as many of these old Scottish pieces are not given a hallmark etc - the backing and settings for the stones are silver - and sold as such. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is nice and clean. It is a nice and very attractive example.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs mentioned comes with an old Scottish box - which is also in lovely condition. The exterior of the box is covered in a claret-coloured leather - with a gold gilt pattern. It is hinged - and with a tiny brass press stud on the front. Inside, the base is covered in dark red velvet (nice and clean) and the lid is in cream-coloured silk - and with the name R.L Christie, Bank Street, Edinburgh (just off the Royal Mile). Sadly, the shop is no longer there.   \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo pricing this at £160 for the brooch and £25 for the lovely antique box.
