Chinese sychee brooches

Postby NancyCaroline » Tue Jan 15, 2013 6:14 pm

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone comment on these Chinese enamel sychee brooches? I've done a bit of research, & learned they're made from Chinese money ingots. I'm trying to determine approximate age. The person I purchased them from said they were made as a gift for a consul's wife, & are meant to perch on the shoulder. I have no idea if there is any truth to this. Thanks in advance.

Nancy
