A silver seahorse brooch by Geoffrey Bellamy for Tarratt

This superb quality silver brooch was designed by Geoffrey Bellamy for Tarratt the Leicestershire based jewellers. The oval shaped brooch has an outer silver frame within which is an upright seahorse in front of fronds. Fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1959 with Tarratt's sponsor's mark, it has Geoffrey Bellamy's facsimile signature on the rear and is incised "No 179", presumably the design number of the piece. Tarratt silver jewellery of this period is now highly collectable and deservedly so.
