Art Deco Reverse Carved Glass Cameo Brooch
 
Amazingly beautiful and unique!  This large sterling silver glass cameo is a conversation starter.  The amber colored glass in reversed etched with a depiction of a torch bearer riding in a chariot being pulled by two horses.  The chariot is adorned with eight round accents and is set in a landscape scene with trees, bushes and grass.  Alongside the chariot runs a loyal dog, tail up high.  Hand etched with an artisan crafted silver frame. The cameo is in perfect condition with NO cracks or chips.  A fantastic gift for that special person in your life!  The brooch itself is not as heavy as you would think!  I would not use it on silk or a thin sweater, but it can easily be worn on a thick sweater, gent's sportscoat, ladies evening jacket, handbag, hat or as a collar cameo.  It would also make a perfect bride's something old for her bouquet.
