A stylish late Victorian winged harp brooch.
The richly decorated Irish harp brooch is set with a row of bright demantoid garnets.
The harp in its winged-maiden form was the symbol of Ireland from the eighteenth century, and with the rise of romantic nationalism the harp was increasingly personified as a female symbol of Ireland and her struggle for political independence.
This beautiful brooch has a sprung pin to the reverse, it could easily be converted to a pendant if required.
