Elisabeth of Austria Queen of France Portrait replica brooch bodice piece

Elisabeth of Austria (5 July 1554 – 22 January 1592) was Queen of France from 1570 to 1574 as the wife of King Charles IX. A member of the House of Habsburg, she was the daughter of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, and Maria of Spain.

This is my portrait replica of the full bodice piece worn in the portrait of Elisabeth of Austria in 1573, by Jooris van der Straaten.

There are multi layered filigrees in gold tone plate decorated with a central black diamond crystal. The piece is decorated with vintage brass cherubs and there are hand enamelled figurines. The centre piece is finished with a baroque style pearl. The central brooch is the set with pearl twists and ouches with a pin to attach to the bodice of your gown.

This piece comes wrapped in tissue paper and a pretty organza gift bag.
