Antique Australian 9ct Rose Gold ‘Kookaburra’ Brooch By Willis and Sons circa 1905
Well.. we believe we have found the sweetest little piece by one of our renowned early Australian jewellery Willis and Sons!
Crafted from 9ct rose gold and ‘bloomed’ to give a lovely matte rosy-yellow gold finish and featuring a beautifully detailed Kookaburra to the centre.
These Australiana novelty pieces were made to commemorate Federation in 1901 and were popular for many years preceding.
In virtually pristine condition for his 120 plus years and crisply hallmarked with Willis’ hallmarks to the underside of the pin fitting.
Perfect for the Australian jewellery collector or anyone who adores Kookaburras as much as we do!
