Lot 32:
Sterling Silver Monogrammed Brooch with RBM Initials
Description
This sterling silver brooch features a rectangular openwork design with a scalloped, interlaced border. The center is composed of three pierced, script-style initials reading RBM. The back of each individual letter is incised with the word STERLING. An additional mark appears on the inner frame to the right of the monogram, consisting of the word STERLING followed by a makers mark that is not clearly legible. The brooch was constructed with a pin mechanism on the reverse, though the pin stem is no longer present.
Weight: 17 grams.
Condition report:
The brooch is in a damaged state due to a missing pin stem (photo 2). The hinge and a portion of the catch remain attached to the reverse side, but the item is currently non-functional as a pin. The silver surfaces exhibit natural oxidation and tarnish, particularly visible within the recessed areas of the openwork border and around the monogram letters (photo 1 and 2).
