Antique silver brooch (c. 1900). Marked French 800 Silver Mark.
An antique silver safety pin brooch with a little mouse perched on the bar. The mouse is beautifully modelled, with textured fur, rounded ears, tiny eyes and a tail that curls down onto the bar. The bar itself has a subtle rosy tone (gilt), which gives the brooch its bi-colour look against the bright silver of the mouse. Small animal brooches were hugely popular in the late 19th century, and a mouse makes a sweet and slightly cheeky choice. The construction is such that it lends itself to not only being a brooch but also has uses as a chain extender and a charm dangler.
Over a hundred years old, without belonging to one design period. Its date, where known, is under Details.
