Description

We discovered this brooch in London. It is designed in the shape of an ear of corn, on which a cornflower blossom is placed. The ear of corn has been a symbol of prosperity since Roman times. Depictions of the Abundantia, the deified personification of abundance, often showed her with ears of corn and a cornucopia in which coins were mixed with corn. The famous lexicon of Victorian floral language by Anna Burke from 1856 also mentions wheat as a symbol of prosperity. In keeping not only with this theme, but also with the natural appearance of the ear of wheat, this brooch is made of gold and pearls. The small natural pearls, so-called seed pearls, are split so that they do not protrude far above the surface of the brooch. They are held in place by finely grained settings that are barely visible to the naked eye. Brooches like this one were produced in ever new variations in Great Britain in the years around 1900. This brooch was also created during this period.
