Written by Olly Gerrish

A striking large silver butterfly brooch. It is set with coloured and clear paste and is presented in a velvet and silk lined leather case. Concealed under the velvet pad is a “tremblant” pin which screws on to the butterfly so that it can be worn as a head ornament and trembles as the French word suggests. It was made circa 1860-1890.
