[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 507784, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous. It is a mishmash of styles, in the general Historic Revival style. The Historic Revival style was hugely popular in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian lands from ca 1840 onward, and it could have been made in that general region in the late 19th century, maybe very early 20th century. If it is non-precious, as you think, the metal is probably gilt brass and the stones glass. The two figures could be celluloid. If it is gilt brass, it is in very good condition.[/QUOTE]
