A remarkable antique Victorian Grand Tour brooch featuring the celebrated “Doves of Pliny” design, exquisitely rendered in intricate micro-mosaic. Tiny coloured glass tesserae form the charming scene of doves drinking from a basin, set against a dark glass or stone plaque that enhances the vivid detail of the composition. Finished with an elegant gold-tone rope-twist frame, this exceptional piece embodies the artistry, romance and cultural fascination of 19th-century Grand Tour jewellery.
