This fantastic Victorian brooch is modelled as a gorgeous little bull dog. Of heavy duty hollow construction, its crafted in silver throughout, and his loveable grumpy face is wonderfully and realistically detailed, with each "wrinkle" we all know and love. His eyes are set with vivid red paste stones, and he remains in great condition. Dates to circa 1890. Woof! STONES Red Paste Stone Eyes
