Victorian Grand Tour Lava Cameo Cherub Brooch

This Victorian lava cameo brooch depicts a pair of cherubs with finely carved faces and feathered wings, cut from warm brownish-khaki hued  lava stone. Likely acquired as a Grand Tour souvenir in the 19th century, it is mounted to a secure base metal pin and measures 40mm x 19.5mm (about 1.5 inches wide). At 6.5 grams, it is light to wear yet detailed in its carving. This is a lovely example of sentimental Victorian cherub jewelry.

The Condition Report

An item must be 100 years old or older to be considered antique. This means many antiques may have age-related wear. We chalk it up to character and love it, but it is essential that we fully describe any wear, no matter how minor. Each piece is carefully inspected, tested, and fully described before it lands in the shop.
