A finely hand-crafted antique English brooch in 14K yellow gold, circa 1840, depicting a chimera — a winged mythological creature with a horned beast's head set with a tiny emerald eye — framed within a coiled serpent border. The piece displays exceptional relief work throughout, with richly textured feathers, scales, and surface detail consistent with high-quality Victorian-era hand craftsmanship. A pin stem is visible on the reverse. Total weight is 3.5 g. Good condition overall.
