I have had it on my desk for some time wondering about who the marks represented, after some "Tinternet" looking it seems its by Bernard Instone who was a pupil of Arthur Gaskin at one point when he was a young man, we have not cle...aned it and its sold now just as we bought it.
Apart from his known connection to Arthur Gaskin whom he studied under, he also is known to have designed for people like Sybyl Dunlop & several others
My images are not to good because it needs a good clean up but in the hand its much better, just a great English Arts & Crafts naturalistic ladies Brooch with all its original patina, a true estate find pin.
Size: approx 6.2 cm long x 5.4 cm wide
Please look at the images as they form an important part of the description, thanks.
