Antique Large Whistlers Mother Brooch

Here is a RARE and unusual antique brooch featuring a hand-printed copy of the famous painting, Whistler's Mother. This painting by Abbott McNeill Whistler, painted in 1871, was famously popular and is still considered an important painting today. The image of Whistler's mother was applied to many novelty items in the late 1800s through the turn of the century. These items included cups, small plaques, and reproduction prints. This large brooch is a rare and exciting example. Crafted in thick 9K Rose Gold Fill, the portrait is silk screened on a porcelain plaque. The plaque features the most lovely iridescent details. This is a truly unique antique brooch that would be appreciated by one who loves art history and Victorian oddities. The metal tests as 9K gold fill and has a wonderful age-related patina. This little treasure is ready to wear, gift, or collect.
