Rare & collectable Charles Horner antique enamelled sterling silver winged scarab beetle brooch.

Fully hallmarked C.H. - highly collectable & famous silversmith Charles Horner, Lion - standard mark for sterling silver, Chester assay office mark and the date letter W for 1922.

The brooch is a large 7.5cm (75mm) long and is 1.3cm high (13mm).

The enamel work is brilliant, still bright and shiny after a 100 years, there is a little missing on the green enamel - I have shown this in a few of the photo's.

The Egyptians saw the scarab beetle as a symbol of renewal & rebirth.  The beetle was associated closely with the Sun god because scarabs roll large balls of dung in which to lay their eggs, a behaviour that the Egyptians thought resembled the progression of the Sun through the sky from east to west.  Its young were hatched from this ball and this event was seen as an act of spontaneous self-creation, giving the beetle an even stronger  association with the sun god's creative force. The connection between the beetle and the Sun was so close that the young Sun god was thought to be reborn in the form of a winged scarab beetle every morning at sunrise.  As this young Sun god known as Khepri rose in the sky, he brought light and life to the land.

I love the Egyptian influence to the design, this was before they discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1925.

Condition: Unpolished patina, very good condition for its age - buyer will be delighted.

From my collection, I am really a bit sad to see this go but I know someone else will enjoy it as much as I have.

Please refer to my photo's for the best guide to description & condition, 5c piece for size reference.
