About the Item
An utterly distinctive and truly captivating vintage treasure! Our Victorian Ivory Wheatsheaf Brooch is a gorgeous accessory that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Victorian era. This brooch features a hand-carved ivory depiction of a wheat sheaf, a timeless symbol of abundance and prosperity. The wheat sheaf is artistically bound by entwining Morning Glory vines and blossoms, adding a delicate touch of nature and femininity to the design.
The intricately detailed piece is of a generous size, measuring 2.5" (65.5 mm) by 1.7" (45 mm). The brooch is secured with a classic 'C' clasp.
On the reverse, the distinctive Gunther-Schräger lines are clearly visible—a hallmark of genuine ivory.
Dating to circa 1840–1850, this exceptional piece was almost certainly carved in Dieppe, France—one of the foremost centers of ivory carving during the Georgian and Victorian eras. An absolute marvel! I can confidently say that this is a one-of-a-kind work of art—a highly desirable collector's piece.
This antique treasure remains in very good condition, with only minor wear consistent with its age. Over time, the ivory has developed a rich, natural patina, yet it has been meticulously preserved and remains in pristine state.
This brooch is utterly unique—you must see it to fully appreciate its splendor. A true miniature masterpiece!
Comparable examples can be found in the Anne Hull Grundy bequest to the British Museum.

Antique Carved Coral Sciacca, Gold, and Diamond Cherub Brooch
Located in Chesterland, OH
We present a true work of art to your attention - a rare and unique brooch carved from a single Italian Mediterranean coral Sciacca. This antique brooch, made in the form of a putto - a little boy angel with a diamond necklace, is imbued with the spirit of the times and the sophistication of the Renaissance when images of cherubs in the form of winged babies were especially popular.
Exquisite hand carving amazes with its high detail and craftsmanship. Every element—from the soft features of the angel's face to the finest lines of the wings—conveys the magnificence of the master's work. The brooch is fixed on 14K gold, which gives it strength despite a crack in the wing and small damage in the area of the necklace, which is quite acceptable for such a venerable age and does not spoil this work of art in any way.
This angel once soared in the heavens, but time has left its mark on his delicate wing. Perhaps this crack is a silent witness to the trials he has endured, making him not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of resilience and timeless beauty. There is a unique charm in this imperfection—a story that transforms him into something greater than just an adornment.
The history of this jewelry is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps this cherub was created in the 18th century, or its history goes even further into the depths of the centuries. The 14K gold clasp was probably added in the 20th century, giving the brooch extra security and preserving it for future generations.
This is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a unique artifact with a soul that takes you back to the past, preserving a piece of history and craftsmanship from long-gone eras.
