An Order of Saint Gregory; Breast Star by Rothe c.1870
Breast star in silver, superimposed gold and enameled cross, 85mm. Circa 1860-80. Of superb quality make, exquisite details and fine quality enamels. Unmarked, though undoubtedly by Austrian maker Rothe. Enamels intact without chipping, two arms of the star re-enforced (seen from reverse only) otherwise in extremely fine condition. Very attractive and very scarce by this maker.
