Antique 1889 Sterling Mizpah Brooch

Large and well-made, this Victorian brooch has the word MIZPAH written in bold on the front with a floral swag on top (morning glories?). In addition, it is etched The Lord Watch Between Me & Thee When Wears Absent One From Another on the front.

The reverse is hallmarked for Birmingham 1889. Made by Syndenham Bros. 

Measures 1.25 x 1.5 inches. Total weight is 4.22g. Original clasp has been replaced by more modern roll-over clasp. There is an indent where the clasp as been replaced which shows on the front edge of the piece. There are also small indents and wear as evidence of age. Has not been polished and has darkened patina but would clean up nicely if buyer chooses.
