Antique Victorian Child Mourning Brooch - A circular Victorian mourning brooch featuring a sepia-toned photographic portrait of a young child beneath a convex dome. The image is set within a metal frame featuring a decorative rope-twist border and finished with an elongated pin and simple C-clasp mechanism. The piece exhibits characteristics typical of late 19th to early 20th-century commemorative jewelry. Diameter: 1 inch (25mm). Fair condition. The metal frame shows significant oxidation and verdigris, particularly on the reverse and within the border. The photographic image displays light fading and surface crazing, and the pin stem is slightly bent with tarnish.
