Description: Splendid, Rare& Never Worn Large 3" x 2.5" Vintage 1980s Signed Butler & Wilson Brooch / Pendant Gold with Purple Amethyst from original owner with original Butler & Wilson Selfridges box Extremely rare and beautiful Butler & Wilson large cross brooch with bale, in gold with gorgeous amethyst colored stones, all stones intact and a central purple and gold enamelled logo. I am the original owner and purchased this elegant piece from the Butler & Wilson concession in Selfridges, London in the late 1980s, it formed part of a larger personal B&W collection. I have never seen another like it. It is weighty, substantial (3" height, 2.5in width) and is signed on the reverse. It has never been worn and stored carefully inside its box in a smoke free home. It is in superb condition with few signs of age, though on close inspection I noticed some very minimal wear to the gold finish on the reverse in the circle, and more noticeably to the gold finish at the tip of the lower right corner of the cross, see photographs 16-17. Not bad for over 3 decades! Pin works perfectly, bale is secure. Box shows some wear. Please examine all photos for details. I am happy to answer any questions or provide more photos should you wish, just ask and I will do my best to help. I want whoever purchases this special piece to be pleased with it, and I don't offer returns as am downsizing, so please purchase with this in mind. Brooch measures, approximately:Height, 3 in.Width, 2.5 in.Depth, .5 in min. box is about 5.2 in x 4.2 in x nearly 1 in deep Please examine all photos which were taken in natural light and using flash to show detail, and ask any questions you may have and I will do my best to help. I guarantee that this brooch is authentic vintage Butler & Wilson purchased by me for my personal use, and that it has been accurately and honestly described. Reasonable offers very welcome. Brooch will be carefully wrapped and mailed promptly via USPS Priority Mail. Friday pm-Sunday purchase mails Monday. Smoke free home. Thank you for looking!
