A late 19th century mounted shell cameo brooch. Of oval outline, the shell cameo depicting St George and the dragon, to the plain surround with bead accents. Length 5.8cms.

Overall condition fair to good. Minor surface wear in keeping with age and wear. Surface scratches throughout and small areas of deeper scratches. Also small areas where the plating has rubbed. Two chips and one small hair line crack which is surface reaching to the back of the brooch. Clasp and hinge slightly stiff, possibly due to replacement pin. The brooch would benefit from a clean.
