This beautiful black Victorian mourning brooch, made around 1900, is a magnificent example of mourning jewellery of the period. The piece is made from vulcanite, also known as ebonite, an innovative material in the 19th century that was widely used to create mourning jewellery due to its deep black hue and matte finish.
The design features a delicate, embossed feminine profile, enclosed in an oval frame of black lacquered metal, which enhances the contrast between the materials. The carved details evoke the romantic style of the Victorian era, where these pieces were used as a commemorative tribute and a symbol of understated elegance.
This brooch is not only a historical fashion accessory, but also a testament to the cultural and aesthetic traditions of the Victorian era. Its generous size makes it a standout piece for collectors or antique jewelry enthusiasts. Mourning jewelry became popular during the reign of Queen Victoria, who, following the death of Prince Albert in 1861, adopted the color black as a symbol of mourning. These pieces were made from materials such as vulcanite, ebonite, and jet, and were designed to reflect solemnity and remembrance.
