Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The FOGH brooch is in fairly good condition, there is some oxidisation/discolouration to the metal in places (predominantly the reverse), and there is some scratching and slight denting evident. The malachite appears to be securely set though does display some surface wear and three small slightly deeper scratches. The pin and rollover clasp function well, though the pin is slightly bent.

The enamelled butterfly brooch is in good condition. There is some slight nibbling to the enamel around the edges of the wings, with a small chip to the bottom edge of the upper right wing (facing), there are a few small indistinguishable light scratches to the upper left wing (facing), the thorax appears to have a very fine hairline mark down the centre. The pin is present, though a little loose and would benefit from some attention to ensure a secure closure. 

The teardrop shaped butterfly wing pendant is in good condition. The butterfly wing remains bright and lustrous, there is no evidence of degrading. The silver mount displays oxidisation to the metal and there is some small denting along the border. The convex glass front is free from any cracking, though does display some scratching.

The oblong butterfly wing brooch is in good condition. The butterfly wing remains bright and lustrous, however there is evidence that it has degraded slightly around the edge. The silver mount display oxidisation to the metal and there is some small denting along the border. The pin and clasp are present and function, the pin is likely a later replacement. The convex glass front is free from any cracking, though does display some scratching with a fairly deep scratch diagonally from one long side that reaches towards the middle.
