Fine George III 15ct yellow gold mourning brooch in hair, enamel, and pearls in remembrance of Master Edward Bowerbank, 1839.
Mourning brooches, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, served as sentimental jewellery worn to honour deceased loved ones. Typically made of jet, black enamel, or hair from the deceased, these brooches featured symbols like weeping willows or urns. Queen Victoria's deep mourning for Prince Albert popularised them, blending grief with artistry.
