Antique / Vintage Signed 18K Gold Equestrian Brooch

Description

This is an Antique / Vintage Signed 18K Yellow Gold Equestrian Brooch.
***PLEASE NOTE: At the time of the original listing, this was one of a number of antique and vintage gold and sterling pieces being listed.  We also have a large variety of other antique and vintage gold and silver jewelry in our ebay store.
This beautiful equestrian brooch has a riding crop and horseshoe.  It weighs 2.6 grams as seen on our jewelry scale.  The photos are closeups; the brooch is 1 5/16" long.  The size relative to a US dime is shown in one of the photos.
The brooch has an older style locking clasp.  The back is marked 750 indicating it is 18K gold.  That designation suggests the brooch might be European, possibly Italian.  There is a maker's mark with a cartouche with "11" inscribed on the left and "AR" inscribed on the right.  I was not able to find any attribution for this mark to the specific maker.
Below the eagle's talons there is a grape cluster that appears to sterling with adjacent applied gold leaves in rose and green gold, respectively.  Each shoulder has a rose gold and a yellow gold leaf at the top adjacent to the table with a much larger white gold leaf below.  There are ornate chased designs on the front and back edges of the shoulder extending up and forming a border below the table.  The colors of the silver and gold are very beautiful.  Please note that in some of the photos, the colors of the gold were washed out a little by the photo flash.  This is an absolutely beautiful ring with wonderful workmanship!
This lovely brooch would be a great addition to your equestrian jewelry collection, and it would be an ideal present for Christmas, Valentine's Day, an Anniversary, Birthday or any special occasion!  We will guarantee your complete satisfaction with your purchase.
Condition
The brooch is excellent condition, and the clasp is in good working order.  Please note however, that you need to open the clasp fully in order to insert the pin properly.
