Very small antique Georgian pin. It has a deep blue enamel that looks
almost black at first. But when the light hits it you can see the beautiful
deep blue color. In the center is a silver rose that is set with marcasites.
Marcasites also surround the outer edges of the blue enamel. Beautifully
made. This pin dates to the late 18th century to early 19th century.
Measurements: 3/4" by 5/8" The pin stem extending an extra 1/8" past the pin itself. Condition: ---The back of the piece has some darkened spots. ---What I consider light surface scratches on the enamel.

Antique Georgian Pin - Portrait Under Glass - Fichu - Lace Pin
Very small antique Georgian fichu or lace pin. I believe the image to be a lithograph. The image almost appears silk like. A stippled like image of a woman. The image is under glass, possibly rock crystal. The center of the glass is concave. The setting does not test for gold. Most likely brass or Pinchbeck. Dates to the late 18th century to early 19th century.
Measurements:
1 1/16" by 7/8"
Pin stem extends an extra 3/16" past the pin.
Condition:
---The back of the piece has some darkened spots.
---There is a very tiny chip in the glass.
