| Fonctions : | Bar brooches were worn by Victorian women as day wear and were most popular during the 1880's and 1890's. Discreet bar brooches were lighter and more unassuming then the large ornate brooches of the 1850's through 1870's. They were normally worn at the centre of high fastened collars and were often set with small stones, pearls or had novelty symbols or inscribed names. Bar brooches were easy to mass produce due to their size and were a staple of Birmingham jewelry firms in England. The Peerless Jewellery Company, Canada was owned Lewis Harrison Allen who applied for a patent in August 1907 which was granted Feb. 18th, 1908, patent number CA110315. These items were donated by Barbara Sayers Larson, the granddaughter of Arthur and Mary Harris of Benares. These items of jewellery are pieces handed down to her as gifts and through inheritances. The exact provenance of each piece is unknown as much of the jewellery in the Harris family came from Captain Harrises relatives in Scotland. The pieces may have also been passed down through Mary Magrath Harris or the Draper family who were connected to the Harrises through the marriage of Annie Harris to Beverly Sayers. |
