Antique Large Georgian Paste Silver Crescent Moon Brooch Pin
Antique Large Georgian Paste Silver Crescent Moon Brooch Pin
Wow! This is the largest crescent brooch we've ever had, and it looks stunning! Featuring many old-cut black dot paste stones in different sizes, the piece likely started life as a shoe buckle. However, it has been fitted with a gold-plated frame on the reverse, bringing the crescent back to life and allowing it to be worn for many more years to come.
In the early to mid-eighteenth century, paste stones began to feature a black dot in the centre to imitate the culets of old-cut diamonds.
This is a high-quality collectable brooch that would make a great addition to any collection.

CONDITION
This antique paste crescent remains in very good condition. All the stones are present and secure, with some showing slight discolouration due to age. The recent fitting of the gold-plated frame allows you to wear this with confidence due to the sturdy pin that fastens securely. All in all, it would be a wonderful statement piece and would look fantastic with a going-out outfit!
