<p>A porcelain brooch inspired by an original artefact in the collection of the British Museum. <br /> <br /> This hand-made brooch evokes the subtle beauty of a piece that was given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1839, a year before their marriage. <br /> <br /> That piece was retailed by Hunt and Roskell, London around 1846 and is currently on display in the jewellery gallery of the Museum. <br /> <br />This delicate brooch is supplied with a gift box.<br /> <br /><b> More about Hunt & Roskell </b> <br /> <br /> Robert Roskell was a famous pocket watch maker who started creating masterpieces in Liverpool, England in 1798. Eventually, he moved to London to continue on in his watch making career with the firm which, in 1843, was renamed Hunt & Roskell with Robert Roskell as the new partner. This company produced some of the finest watches and jewellery during its time in operation.</p>
Exclusive to the British Museum, a porcelain brooch shaped as a spray of orange blossom, based on an original artefact from the Museum’s collection.
Hand-made in Spain, this exquisite piece has been inspired by a beautiful Hunt and Roskell original from around 1846, gifted to the British Museum as part of the Hull Grundy gift. The original brooch was notably similar to a piece that formed part of a set gifted to Queen Victoria by her husband Prince Albert in 1839, one year before their marriage.
Orange blossom was often chosen for wedding bouquets, and is taken to symbolise chastity.
A delightful gift worthy of a queen.
