The design of this late Victorian antique silver name pin is a little different to the usual bar brooch or open pierced round name brooches usually found. This FLORRIE name pin is in hallmarked sterling silver. The silver on this lovely antique brooch has been engraved in flowers around the letters of the name.
The Brooch is in very good condition for the age. The pin is sharp and fastens securely. Lovely addition to any collection.

Name brooches were a great favourite with Victorian and Edwardian ladies. These old brooches and pins started out as name badges for the staff in large country houses and later became popular sweetheart brooches. Many were made in Birmingham, England's jewellery quarter, and they are becoming most fashionable again with the resurgence of lovely old names that were popular in the 19th and early 20th Century.
