A striking Scottish silver Jacobite style brooch by Robert Allison bearing desirable Edinburgh hallmarks for 1960.
Robert Allison specialised in creating traditional celtic jewellery between the years of 1941 - 1982 and his signed pieces are sought after and very collectible.
Super quality and solidly constructed the brooch is in the shape of a shield and features four particularly nice specimens of Scottish agates including banded agate, translucent and opaque moss agates and a rich red carnelian.
The agates are cabochon cut into nice glossy domes, collet set into the mount and accented with fancy claws. The mount features embossed stylised thistle motifs against an acid darkened background. Lovely detailing!
