Victorian Silver, Gold & Enamel Miniature Fox Portrait Brooch by WB Ford, 1887


A fantastic piece of history, this brooch features a portrait of a handsome red fox who has been meticulously hand-painted on a circular enamel plaque. The miniature has been crafted with an 18ct yellow gold frame and set into an open-backed solid silver mount. Complete with t-bar and c-clasp, with the addition of a silver fitted safety chain.


Hand signed on the reverse of the plaque is 'W B Ford 1887'. 


William Bishop Ford (1832-1922) was born in London 3 May, 1832, the son of Michael and Agnes Ford.  

He was a student of William Essex who was famous for his animal themed enamels. 


This gorgeous brooch is in a good antique condition, there is a small chip to the enamel at the edge but this is not noticeable when worn.
