Antique Silver Roman Coin Mounted in Antique Victorian brooch

This antique Victorian brooch is a typical example of coin jewellery as made by Lucien Falize, circa 1890. The 18ct gold mounting holds an ancient silver Roman coin. As other jewels by Falize, it reveals an impeccable taste, despite the deliberate use of classical sources and the beautiful works of the Renaissance in particular, which Falize knew and cherished above all others.

The coin itself has been recognized as an original ancient coin from 54 B.C.!
