VICTORIAN Aluminium? Engraved Door Knocker BROOCH A piece of jewellery dating from 1860 ish in a silver metal engraved and a decorative door knocker feature/decoration The Victorians loved symbolism and I have seen buckles /door knockers /clasps on other broochs . I assume it symbolised the The silver metal looks quite dull and I wondered if it might be aluminium -highly prized by the Victorians (as it was dreadfully difficult to mine ) I am not sure about this and would welcome some expert views on this Back has been roughly hand engraved (very lightly )It says :- 'To Everything give thanks and to pray onto anyone' Not quite sure about end as hard to decipher If you see other aluminium jewellery is is similarly back in gilt metal (which in the case of this brooch -the gilt has worn on the back as you can see ) Pretty vintage itemSorry about the postage to US by Royal Mail has put up price of standard/ cheapest parcel mail from £2.09 to £3.50 Please only bid if you are intending to pay . I seem to have a lot of non-payers at the moment and also a number of items 'lost' to buyers . I have never not received an item I have bought ,yet I seem to have lots of buyers who mysteriously don't get expensive items ! Ple ase see my other items -including old/vintage/antique jewellery (and some coins)-deco, nouveau, edwardian and victorian
