Antique Chinese Export 18ct Gold Carved Coral Brooch | Possibly Late Qing / Early Republic | Tested

A beautiful and highly collectible Chinese Export brooch crafted in tested 18ct gold, featuring exquisite hand-carved coral floral cabochons set within an intricate openwork filigree design.
The brooch is set with a large carved floral coral panel at the centre, surrounded by eight matching carved coral roses. It retains its original steel pin, a traditional construction found on many early Chinese gold brooches.
Based on its craftsmanship and construction, this piece is believed to date from the Late Qing to Early Republic period (circa 1900–1930), although the exact age has not been professionally verified.
