This brooch is an exquisite example of vintage craftsmanship, featuring a signed hand-painted miniature portrait encased in a silver-plated frame with a domed, convex glass cover.

The silver plated frame has an oval shape, adorned with scalloped edges and an embossed pattern. The decorative border features repetitive scroll motifs, which enhance its elegance and evoke a sense of Victorian or Edwardian design influences.

The protective covering is domed glass, which is convex to enhance the visibility and depth of the miniature painting underneath. Convex glass was a popular choice in vintage and antique jewelry for its durability and ability to magnify fine details.

The centerpiece is a finely hand-painted portrait of a woman, likely inspired by 18th-century Rococo fashion. She is depicted in an elaborate gown, characterized by flowing skirts, lace details, and a tight-fitting bodice adorned with floral accents. Her powdered wig is styled high, a hallmark of the period’s aristocratic fashion.
