Antique Hand Painted Miniature Brooch

This antique brooch (circa 1860-1880) features a hand painted miniature of a church in the mountains. The trees are accented with macerated hair and the piece is framed in a hand chased gold plated mounting.

The brooch measures 1.1 inches from top to bottom by 1.4 inches wide. The brooch is in very good condition; however, there was some past moisture penetration under the glass that is visible only upon very close magnification.

Materials: 14k gold.
