Floral Brooch And Coral Earrings With Gold Mount – Trapani, Second Half Of The 19th Century

A refined set consisting of a large brooch and a pair of pendant earrings, finely hand-carved in Mediterranean red coral and preserved in their original blue velvet case. The elaborate floral composition includes delicate buds, serrated leaves, and tiny berries, all assembled with remarkable precision into a three-dimensional naturalistic bouquet.
The gold mount, visible on the reverse, supports the various elements with skillful craftsmanship, ensuring both structure and fluidity. The screw-back earrings, topped with coral beads, mirror the floral motif of the brooch and confirm the stylistic coherence of the ensemble.
The exceptional quality of carving and botanical realism suggest an origin in Trapani, a Sicilian center renowned in the 19th century for its exquisite coral work. These jewels embody the romantic taste of the era and reflect the symbolic value of coral, traditionally associated with protection and good fortune.
