A stunning example of Edwardian “sporting” jewelry, this antique Reverse Painted Essex Crystal brooch features a spirited duo: a Wire Fox Terrier and a black Scottish Terrier. Hand-painted with remarkable 3D depth, the dogs are captured in a realistic landscape within a shimmering rock crystal cabochon.
The setting is equally impressive, crafted in solid sterling silver and flanked by two sculptural Scottish Terrier head “shoulders.” This is a sophisticated, investment-grade find for the discerning collector of rare canine antiques, embodying the sporty elegance of the early 20th century.
The complete piece forms a brooch that measures approximately 1″ tall. x 1 1/2″ long.
The crystal is clear and the reverse painting remains vibrant. The sterling silver setting shows a beautiful vintage patina with a secure original C-clasp. It is hallmarked “STERLING” on the reverse. Overall, it is in excellent condition.
