A beautiful Antique Suffragette brooch depicting a fabulous basket with a bouquet of flowers growing from the top decorated with green, white and pink Pastes. It’s set in the middle of a large love heart and topped with a bow. 

Together the colours of each stone pay tribute to the women’s Suffragette movement which took place in the early 20th century and popularly consisted of Violet, Green and White stones which symbolised; Violet for Loyalty, White for Purity and Green for Hope, or Give Women Votes! 

The piece is fashioned in base metal and was originally an extravagant buckle but has since been converted into a brooch with the addition of a Silver pin at the back. It’s in excellent condition and highly collectable.
