  • La broche Luckenbooth est une broche originaire d'Écosse et reconnaissable à son motif en cœur, composé d’un cœur simple ou de deux cœurs entrelacés, souvent surmonté(s) par une couronne stylisée. Ce motif de cœur couronné est présent dans l’art populaire dans la plupart des pays d’Europe dès le XIVe siècle, et ce jusqu’au XIXe siècle. Il apparaît sur des œuvres en bois gravé ou peint, en métal, en textile, etc. Les (en) étaient des boutiques d’Édimbourg, situées dans Royal Mile entre la Cathédrale Saint-Gilles et Canongate. C’étaient les premières échoppes permanentes de la ville qui abritaient des bijoutiers et autres artisans, et ce depuis le XVIe siècle. Le nom est dérivé de ces petits kiosques (« booth ») que l’on verrouillait (« lock ») à la fermeture. La broche Luckenbooth — généralement en argent — est devenue une broche traditionnelle du mariage écossais, donnée en gage d’amour par le marié à sa promise le jour des noces, les cœurs symbolisant bien sûr l’amour, et la couronne la loyauté. La broche était plus tard accrochée à la brassière du premier bébé pour le protéger des « esprits malins ». La première mention d’une telle broche en Écosse remonte à 1503. Les pierres les plus fréquemment utilisées sont les citrines, les jaspes, le granit, les agates, les améthystes et plus tard, des malachites importées de Sibérie. À partir du XVIIIe siècle, c’est également devenu un symbole décoratif qu’on trouve très communément sur le costume traditionnel des Amérindiens, et en particulier chez les Iroquois. Ils l’ont sans doute adopté après l’avoir vue porté par les Écossais arrivés en masse dans l’Amérique du Nord Britannique après la fin de la Guerre de Sept Ans (1763). Il est probable en effet que quantité d’Écossais aient porté cette broche comme un souvenir qui les liait émotionnellement à leur pays natal. Au XIXe siècle, en plein Gothic revival, la Reine Victoria se passionne pour l’Écosse et remet les broches Luckenbooth à la mode. Les ateliers d'Édimbourg ne suffisent bientôt plus et d'autres finissent par ouvrir à Birmingham pour satisfaire la demande des touristes. (fr)
  • A Luckenbooth brooch is a Scottish heart-shaped brooch. These brooches often have a crown above one heart, or two intertwined hearts. They are typically made of silver and may be engraved or set with stones. The name comes from the Luckenbooths of Edinburgh, where jewellery and trinkets used to be sold, including this type of brooch.Luckenbooth is a Scots word for a lockable stall or workshop.The Edinburgh booths were situated on the Royal Mile near St Giles Cathedral. They were the city's first permanent shops, going back to the 15th century, and initially housing mainly silversmiths and goldsmiths. They were demolished in 1817. The Luckenbooth brooch is a traditional Scottish love token: often given as a betrothal or wedding brooch. It might be worn by a nursing mother as a charm to help her milk flow, and/or be pinned to a baby's clothing to protect it from harm. It was known as a witch-brooch by people using it to save children from the evil eye. The Luckenbooth brooch has motifs similar to the Claddagh ring, also using the heart and crown. Heart-shaped brooches in parts of Europe date back to late medieval times, but this design probably did not appear in Scotland before the 17th century. Silver was the usual material, although gold heart brooches were made for wealthy people. Silver was commonly chosen for "lucky" charms, and was also an affordable metal for jewellery that was popular with poorer people. Inexpensive glass paste "gems" were sometimes used on silver Luckenbooth brooches, as were garnets and semi-precious stones. Some brooches were engraved with initials, dates or mottoes. By the mid 18th century, Luckenbooth tokens also featured heavily as trade silver items to the indigenous peoples of the Eastern Woodlands, particularly the Iroquois of the Five Nations. As a result, Luckenbooth brooches also became a common decorative symbol in 18th and early 19th century native clothing. One legend of the Luckenbooth brooch is that it was a symbol of love and devotion given by Mary Queen of Scots to Lord Darnley. Another story is that it was an engagement brooch given to her by the Dauphin of France whom she later married. It may feature Scottish motifs like the St. Andrew's Cross, or the thistle. The Luckenbooth brooch has been a Scottish form of jewellery since the 19th century. The form was adapted to pebble jewellery in Victorian times, as well as being a regular feature in the ranges of most Scottish manufacturing jewellers who worked for the Highland outfitter and tourist trades.
