A circa 1910 brooch crafted in 14KT gold and modelled as a hunting horn, set with an Essex crystal depicting a fox head. The reverse-painted crystal panel sits within the circular body of the horn and gives the brooch a distinctive sporting character.
The fox head is painted beneath a domed crystal lens, creating the depth and magnification associated with Essex crystal work. The horn form adds further detail and makes the piece particularly decorative and collectible.
At 4 cm wide, the brooch has a compact but distinctive size when worn. It would sit neatly on a lapel, scarf, or jacket and has strong visual interest despite its modest scale.
