A wonderfully characterful Victorian bar brooch, offered in a darling antique box. A rare and charming survival that adds to its story and appeal.

Crafted in warm 8–9 carat gold, the brooch is designed in a clean, simple bar form that allows the delightful motif to take full focus. Perched atop the bar is a finely detailed running hare, captured mid stride with lively movement and expressive form. Beneath the hare rests an enamelled rifle cartridge case, an unusual and evocative element that hints at country pursuits and the sporting life so closely associated with the Victorian era.

The contrast between the polished gold, the textured figure of the hare, and the coloured enamel creates a piece that is both subtle and full of personality. 

Elegant yet playful, and wonderfully evocative of its time, this brooch is a special survivor. Presented in its antique box, it would make a distinctive addition to any collection or a unique piece to wear and treasure today.
