Condition Report
Overall condition fair to poor. There are a couple of sections of woven seed pearl missing to the top of the bow and also to the tip of the ribbon. Some of the threading appears loose and would need attention. There are a couple of areas of restoration work to the back of the brooch, there is a section where a mother-of pearl panel has been added to strengthen the back where the original mother-of-pearl has split. The backing to the heart has been replaced at a later date. The back pin and catch is secure. Please see information within our catalogue for 'ITEMS INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES' .
