Description


A rare late Victorian Brooch.

 

Modelled in 9k gold. The front adorned with a garter motif and floral decoration.

 

There is a secret compartment which opens to reveal applied letters reading “ANWYLAF’

 

Anwylaf is welsh and translates to dearest in english.

 

This brooch is rare enough in the fact it has a secret compartment. I have never seen a welsh sentimental brooch. Extremely rare
